A system for controlling an electric motor which includes three coils and a rotor, comprising a motion-profile-generator for generating a rotor-motion-profile and for producing a position-command, a position-controller for determining a velocity-command and a position-feedforward, for determining a forward-velocity according to the prediction of the velocity required to reach said position-command. The system further includes a first summer for producing a modified velocity, a velocity controller, for determining a current-command, a velocity feedforward, for determining a forward-current and a second summer for producing a modified-current. The system also includes a commutator, for determining respective modified-coil-currents for each of at least three current-control-loops and for dividing said modified-coil-currents between the said current-control-loops according to the position of said rotor. Each current-control-loop includes a current-controller, for determining a respective voltage-command for the respective coil thereof an h-bridge for providing said voltage command to the respective coil thereof.
