In a magnetic disk device, oscillation occurring at a frequency higher than Nyquist frequency is suppressed. In one embodiment, a multi-late filter having a resonance point at a frequency higher than the intended Nyquist frequency is introduced in a previous stage of a controlled object. At that time, since a resonance characteristic of the multi-rate filter is aliased by a sampler, the multi-rate filter is designed such that the resonance point after the aliasing is stabilized in phase by a following compensator.

A carriage for a magnetic disk apparatus includes a slider on which a magnetic head for reading/writing information from/to a disk is mounted, a suspension for carrying the slider and for applying a predetermined load to the slider, and a carriage arm to which the suspension is attached. The carriage arm includes a suspension fixing portion, first and second arms arranged substantially in parallel with a disk surface, and a restricting member having a surface opposite to the first and second arms. The restricting member and the first arm, and the restricting member and the second arm are coupled via a viscoelastic body.

A positioning control apparatus for a magnetic disk apparatus. Internal models and a trajectory generation section are constructed in a control program. Based on generated position trajectory and velocity trajectory and an internal model position and velocity, a model control section outputs a first operation signal Umf for a fixed sample time Tu and then outputs a second operation signal Ums for Tu. The model control section calculates Umf and Ums so as to cause a position Pm and a velocity Vm output by an internal model 2Tu seconds later to coincide with the generated position trajectory and velocity trajectory. When a detector has detected a voice coil saturation current for head movement, a signal obtained by subtracting a position feedback signal Uh from a detected voice coil current is used as an internal model input to thereby cause the model to track a control subject.

A track locus drawn on a disk discretely contains repeatable runout (RRO) components which are large in amplitude up to high-frequency band. In order to position a magnetic head along the track locus using filters good at suppressing RRO with resonance characteristics only at an integral multiple of a rotation frequency, many filters are required and thus it takes a long time for all the filters to go into a steady state. After learning until the filers go into a steady state, output values of the filters in a steady state are stored on a disk or in a memory. According to controlling the magnet head using these stored output values, the time required for the filters to go into a steady state becomes unnecessary.

A hard-disk drive. The hard-disk drive includes a head-slider configured to fly in proximity with a recording surface of a magnetic-recording disk, and a fly-height variation compensator configured to generate a signal for compensating variation in fly height of a write element of the head-slider. The head-slider further includes the write element configured to write data to the magnetic-recording disk, a fly-height-adjustment heating element configured to displace the write element towards the magnetic-recording disk, and a position-adjustment heating element configured to displace the write element in at least a direction perpendicular to a flying direction. The fly-height variation compensator is further configured to add the signal for compensating variation in fly height to a control signal for output to the fly-height-adjustment heating element.

In a positioning control system for a head of a magnetic disk device etc, a frequency of a disturbance oscillation having a specific oscillation component whose amplitude changes with a head position, is selected as a target frequency. Next, a resonance filter is so designed that it has a resonance characteristic at the target frequency and a variable gain device A having the gain changing with head position and a variable gain device B having inverse characteristics to the device A are connected to input and output terminals of the resonance filter, respectively. Input to the filter is made 0 during seek operation and an error signal is used as the input to the filter through the device A after the end of the seek operation. The variable gain devices A and B are controlled so that their product becomes 1.

Embodiments in accordance with the present invention relate to a positioning control system of a magnetic disk drive. Even if there is no phase correlation in a specific vibration component before and after a seek operation of a magnetic head, a resonance filter in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention follows the vibration at the frequency at high speed. A frequency showing a periodic disturbance is selected as a target frequency Ft[Hz]. A resonance filter showing a peak gain at a frequency Ft is designed. For an input to the resonance filter, a time-variable gain K(t) is used that varies depending on the time lapsed after the completion of a seek operation. This time-variable gain K(t) takes a value larger than 1 when the resonance filter starts operating, and after the lapse of a fixed length of time, the value becomes 1 by degrees.

A feedforward control system using a polynomial formula not affected by discretization error is realized in a magnetic disk drive. In one embodiment, the magnetic disk drive is intended to move a head for performing at least one of recording and playback to and from a magnetic recording medium to a target position. The feedforward input has a seek control system computed by a polynominal formula of a time function. The coefficients of the polynomial formula have been derived from boundary conditions including the characteristics of a zero-order hold.
