Hydraulic servomechanism is the typical mechanical/hydraulic double-dynamics coupling system with heavy nonlinearity, parametric uncertainties, and mismatching uncertainties input problems. How to estimate and compensate mismatching uncertainties by observer is a very important issue. This paper proposes an extended-state-observer (ESO)-based nonlinear adaptive control scheme for the motion tracking control of the hydraulic valve-controlled single-rod actuator system. This paper provides a solution to estimate and compensate the mismatching disturbances, i.e., the mechanical dynamics uncertainties. With the developed method, both the hydraulic dynamics uncertainties and the mechanical dynamics uncertainties can be estimated and compensated effectively. Moreover, the parameters adaptive mechanism is also supplemented with ESO to further improve the tracking performance. The parametric uncertainties, modeling, and unknown external disturbances are comprehensively addressed. In theory, the asymptotic tracking can be achieved even in the presence of unknown external constant disturbances and parametric uncertainties. Besides giving the theoretical results and proof, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through extensive comparative experiments.
