This paper presents an application of adaptive 2nd order sliding mode control. This control is based on twisting algorithm and ensures a finite time convergence to the sliding manifold σ = σ̇ = 0, σ being the sliding variable and defined from the control objectives. The control solution required a limited information about the uncertainties and the disturbances acting on the system. This control strategy is applied to an electropneumatic set-up. This bench consists of two rod coupled pneumatic cylinders: one cylinder is controlled on position and perturbed by the second cylinder which is force-controlled. The efficacy of this strategy is evaluated through some simulations.
