This paper presents a nonlinear tracking control method for a hard disk drive dual-stage actuator (DSA) system that consists of a voice coil motor (VCM) actuator and a piezoelectric (PZT) microactuator. Conventional track seeking controllers for DSA systems were generally designed to enable the VCM actuator to approach the target track without overshoot. However, we observe that this strategy is unable...
This paper presents a nonlinear tracking control method for a hard disk drive (HDD) dual-stage actuator (DSA) system that consists of a voice coil motor (VCM) actuator and a piezoelectric (PZT) microactuator. Conventional track seeking controllers for DSA systems were generally designed to enable the VCM actuator to approach the target track without overshoot. However, we observe that this strategy...
Narrow-band position error at mid-frequencies around the open-loop crossover frequency can not be effectively reduced using a conventional peak filter, because the attenuation of sensitivity gains has to compromise with the associated decrease of phase margin. This paper presents a general second-order filter that is applicable to reject narrow-band disturbances at any frequency range. The filter...
A servo track writing (STW) platform with dual piezoelectric (PZT) microactuator is proposed for higher track density hard disk drives (HDDs). We mainly deal with the servo control issues to achieve high track density. Vibration and noise analysis based on the measured position error signal (PES) indicates that the PES is significantly disturbed by narrow-band vibrations. Hence, we propose a general...
In hard disk drive (HDD) servo systems, the short-span track seeking control may be viewed as a reference tracking problem. However, the perfect tracking control (PTC) is difficult to realize, because the voice coil motor (VCM) has a double-integrator behavior with a relative degree of two and it may also have nonminimum-phase (NMP) zero. These characteristics prevent the plant model inversion for...
