Abstract: An adaptive speed control system and method for adapting control of an electric motor under a changing load condition. A load torque observer determines a load torque value when the motor is operating at a constant speed, and the load torque value is used to adapt a torque. An inertia observer determines an inertia load value when the motor is operating at a changing speed, and the inertia load value is used to adapt a controller gain. An active disturbance input decoupler provides disturbance rejection when the motor is operating at a constant speed. An adaptive control switch switches the load torque observer between driving the inertia observer and driving the active disturbance input decoupler. The system may be configured for a multi-axis system in which multiple motors are each associated with a different axis of motion, and multiple adaptive speed control systems are each associated with a different motor.
