In this paper, we present the design and implementation of an integrat
ed fuzzy logic controller (IFLC) for a DC-servomotor system. The propo
sed strategy is intended to improve the performance of the original co
ntrol system by use of a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) as the motor loa
d changes. Both computer simulation and experimental implementation de
monstrate that IFLC is particularly effective in position control of a
DC-servomotor under shaft frictional load, inertia disk load and mixe
d frictional/inertial load conditions. A stability verification proced
ure for the integrated fuzzy logic control system is also provided. (C
