    摘要: Methods of compensating for repeatable runout in a disk drive are provided. The disk drive includes a data storage disk, a transducer adjacent to the disk, a primary actuator for positioning the transducer over a first range of movement, and a secondary actuator for positioning the transducer over a second range of movement that is less than the first range of movement. Estimates are made of the position of the secondary actuator in the second range of movement. Data is read from the disk via the transducer. A position error signal is determined based on the read data. Positioning of the transducer by the primary actuator is controlled based on the estimated position of the secondary actuator in the second range of movement and based on the position error signal to compensate for repeatable runout.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the present invention allow for the generation of at least one estimated value of a first parameter that is derived from a regularly measured value of a second parameter. In addition, a single control feedback signal can be adjusted via updating of the estimated and regularly measured values in a control feedback loop. At least one spiral track can be written to storage media based on the single control feedback signal, where the single control feedback signal can be received from an compensating circuit that receives the at least one estimated value of the first parameter, which can refer to position, and the at least one regularly measured value, which can refer to velocity.

    摘要: A suspension for a HGA includes a suspension flexure and an out trigger. The suspension flexure has a tongue region having a first flexure part in a tip portion thereof for mounting a trailing edge of a slider and a PZT mounting region for mounting PZT elements. One end of the out trigger is connected to the suspension flexure, and the other end of the out trigger has a trigger support portion which extends above the tongue region so as to support the leading edge of the slider. The structure of the out trigger is capable of stiffening the tongue region of the suspension flexure and, in turns, avoiding the deformation problem and the dimple separation problem during the manufacturing process or in vibration or shock events. The invention also discloses a HGA with the suspension, manufacturing methods of the HGA and a disk drive unit having such HGA.

    摘要: A disk drive detects head touchdown based on a magnitude of a position error signal at a discrete frequency. The discrete frequency is one-half the disk rotation frequency or an integral multiple of the disk rotation frequency. The head is heated by turning on a heater at the discrete frequency, thereby injecting bias into a servo system that increases the PES magnitude. In addition, the servo system has a first transfer function for tracking the head during read and write operations and a second transfer function for tracking the head during head touchdown detection. The second transfer function has smaller vibration rejection than the first transfer function so that the disk drive is less sensitive to vibration during read and write operations than during head touchdown detection.
