摘要:
A disk drive and methods for preventing a coil in a voice coil motor from overheating due to the application of excess current. The disk drive comprises a servo control system. The servo control system is adapted for applying a current to a coil of the voice coil motor thereby causing the voice coil motor to move the head according to a seek distance. The servo control system generates a plurality of seek profiles for each of a plurality of seek distances and a plurality of current limits for the plurality of seek profiles. Each of the plurality of seek profiles defines a plan for controlling the current to be applied to the coil while the voice coil motor is operated over the seek distance. The plurality of current limits each define a maximum current allowed while controlling the current to be applied to the coil.

In one embodiment, a system includes a medium, a magnetic head having a write element adapted for writing data to the medium, a MAMR element and/or a TAMR element adapted for assisting recording on the medium, the MAMR element having a microwave-generating portion that receives current for operation thereof, the TAMR element having a localized heat-generating portion that receives current for operation thereof, and a read element adapted for reading data from the medium, a device adapted for measuring environmental conditions relating to the TAMR/MAMR elements and the medium, and a controller adapted for controlling operation of the magnetic head and adjusting operating parameters of the system based on the environmental conditions. The environmental conditions include temperature, a reproduced signal of the read element, and/or clearance between the TAMR/MAMR elements and the medium. The operating parameters include the clearance, amount of current injected to the TAMR/MAMR elements, and/or write current.
