Permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM)-driven position servo systems in high-speed flight vehicles face severe challenges from extreme thermal environments, which induce significant parameter variations up to 25% (e.g., motor torque constant) and complex multi-scale disturbances. This paper proposes a novel adaptive robust control strategy integrating three key components: (1) an ultra-local model formulation motivated by physically consistent thermal effect analysis of electromagnetic, mechanical, and tribological parameters; (2) a dual-layer disturbance observer architecture comprising a third-order finite-time convergent extended state observer (FTCESO) for fast-varying disturbances and a σ-modification adaptive estimator for slow-varying thermal drifts; and (3) a global nonlinear integral terminal sliding mode controller with a cycloidal reaching law. Stability analysis based on homogeneous system theory and Lyapunov methods establishes practical finite-time convergence with explicit bounds. The experimental results on a TMS320F28335-based servo platform demonstrate that the proposed method reduces the maximum position deviation by 83–94% compared to PID, LADRC, and conventional SMC controllers under the tested disturbance conditions, achieving settling time reductions exceeding 90%. Under combined thermal drift and external loading, the proposed approach limits the maximum tracking error to below 0.45° while maintaining a steady-state error under 0.08°.
