Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) are cost-effective electric actuators that utilize magnetic reluctance to generate torque, with torque ripple arising from unaccounted manufacturing defects in the rotor tooth geometry.This paper aims to design a versatile, resource-efficient commutation function for accurate control of a range of SRMs, mitigating torque ripple despite manufacturing variations across SRMs and individual rotor teeth.The developed commutation function optimally distributes current between coils by leveraging the variance in the torque-current-angle model and is designed with few parameters for easy integration on affordable hardware. Monte Carlo simulations and experimental results show a tracking error reduction of up to 31\% and 11\%, respectively. The developed approach is beneficial for applications using a single driver for multiple systems and those constrained by memory or modeling effort, providing an economical solution for improved tracking performance and reduced acoustic noise.
