    摘要: A dual-stage actuator disk drive uses a secondary-actuator failure-detection and calibration test run by the servo control processor and a relative-position sensor for measuring the position of the secondary actuator relative to its neutral position in response to the calibration test. The secondary-actuator failure detection and calibration test can be performed on a regular schedule or at selected times, such as at disk drive start-up. With the primary actuator biased at a test location, such as a crash stop or a load/unload ramp, the servo control processor generates a test signal to the secondary actuator and receives a relative-position signal (RPS) from the relative-position sensor in response to the test signal. The test comprises two measurements: a measurement of the secondary actuator static characteristics, and a measurement of the secondary actuator dynamic characteristics.

    摘要: A data recording disk drive has a plurality of capacitive sensors, each sensor facing a surface of an associated disk, a capacitance sensing circuit for converting the sensed capacitance to a voltage representative of the distance between the sensor and the disk surface, and a feedforward controller that receives the voltage signal. The feedforward controller has a transfer function with gain and phase characteristics designed to match the transfer function from the out-of-plane disk vibration to the position of the read/write head while accounting for the effects of the sensor dynamics and the dynamics of the actuator. The output from the feedforward controller is combined with the output from the disk drive's servo feedback controller so that the effects of disk vibration on track misregistration of the head are removed from the control signal to the actuator.

    摘要: Methods and systems for reducing read/write head track misregistration are described. According to one embodiment, a first signal is received from a first capacitive sensor that faces a surface of a disk associated with a disk drive. A second signal is received from a second capacitive sensor that faces the surface of the disk. A determination is made as to whether the disk is being moved along its axis of rotation or whether the disk is tilting. Read/write head track misregistration is reduced based on the determination of whether the disk drive is being moved along an axis of rotation or whether the disk is tilting.

    摘要: A dual-stage actuator disk drive has both a rotary primary actuator and a rotary secondary actuator. When the primary actuator initiates a seek there are two torque components acting on the center of mass of the secondary actuator's moving portion. The center of rotation of the moving portion is located at an optimal location relative to the center of mass of the moving portion, which results in cancellation of the two torque components and a secondary actuator that has essentially no resonant frequency in response to a seek by the primary actuator. If the optimal location can not be achieved because of assembly tolerances, then the center of rotation is placed at a distance at least as great as the assembly tolerance from the optimal location.

    摘要: A data recording disk drive has one or more capacitive sensors for sensing out-of-plane vibration of the disk or disks. The sensors are attached to a support structure that is attached to the disk drive housing. Each sensor is associated with a disk and faces a surface of the disk near the outer perimeter of the disk and close to the recording head. The support structure can be made of a metal or a high-strength plastic and can be a separate structure mounted to the housing, or integrated as part of the single-piece housing casting. If it is metallic, as would be the case if it were integrated with the housing, then layers of insulating material separate the sensors from the support structure. A support structure that serves other functions in the disk drive, such as a support for air dams that extend between the disks, can also function as the support structure for the capacitive sensors.

    摘要: A method for secondary-actuator failure-detection and recovery in a dual-stage actuator disk drive includes running a calibration test by the servo control processor and measuring the position of the secondary actuator relative to its neutral position in response to the calibration test. The secondary-actuator failure detection and calibration test can be performed on a regular schedule or at selected times, such as at disk drive start-up. With the primary actuator biased at a test location, such as a crash stop or a load/unload ramp, the servo control processor generates a test signal to the secondary actuator and receives a relative-position signal (RPS) from the relative-position sensor in response to the test signal. The test comprises two measurements: a measurement of the secondary actuator static characteristics, and a measurement of the secondary actuator dynamic characteristics.
