Compensation of friction is an important issue in automatic control of mechanism involved in high precision tasks. Friction modelling is the fundamental issue for control design. LuGre friction model is a nonlinear-in-parameters system; however, this friction model does not satisfy the rate-independent property. In this work a new dynamic model of friction is proposed. This new model is able to capture all the friction phenomena captured by the LuGre model and satisfying the rate-independent property. The proposed model is linear-in-parameters and it can also be employed for friction compensation. Numerical experiments applied to a mechanism with friction (modeled with the LuGre model) shows that the proposed model, used as a friction compensator, improves the performance of linear PID controllers.
