Modeling and Control of a Dual Stage Actuator Hard Disk Drive

چکیده
A data-based approach is presented for modeling and controller design of a dual-stage servo actuator in a hard disk drive. The servo actuator in this hard disk drive consists of a conventional voice coil motor and a piezo-electrically actuated suspension. A weighted Hankel matrix based realization algorithm that uses frequency domain data is applied to estimate a discrete-time model of the voice coil motor and the piezoelectric actuator. Based on the discrete-time models, different dual-stage track-following controllers were designed using classic and H∞ loop shaping techniques. The controllers were implemented in real-time in the investigated hard disk drive. A stable feed-back control and good agreement between measurements and simulations show the promising result of data based modeling and control.

Fixed Order Pq-control Design Method for Dual-stage Instrumented Suspension
To achieve frequency separation between actuators of a dual-stage servo actuator system in a hard disk drive, the PQ control design method can be used. In the PQ method, the servo controller is designed by focusing on structural interference of the actuators. This paper provides a specific parametrization for fixed order feedback controllers used in the PQ-method for which the structural interf...

This paper discusses short seeking control for a dual-actuator hard disk drive consisting of a coarse actuator (voice coil motor, VCM) and a fine actuator (piezoelectric actuator, PZT). A novel design method is proposed based on the dual-stage track following control and initial value adjustment (IVA). This method, which adjusts the initial values of the track-following controllers for short se...
متن کاملModeling product variations in hard disk drive micro-actuator suspensions
The increase in aerial storage capacities of future magnetic hard disk drives has fostered the use of dual-stage actuators for high track density data recording. In a hard disk drive with a dual-stage actuator the standard rotary actuation of the voice coil motor is combined with an additional micro or milli actuation to accomplish high-bandwidth and highly accurate track following. In order to...

Dual-stage actuator design for hard disk drives via composite nonlinear feedback control is presented, which consists of a primary actuator, the voice coil motor and a secondary actuator, the suspension piezoelectric microactuator. The first is effective in both track seeking and following stages to produce fast rising time and low overshoot and the latter works in track following stage only to...
متن کاملMicro-actuator control in a hard-disk drive
This chapter demonstrates the use of anti-windup compensation in the control loop of a micro-actuator which is nominally controlled by a linear, discrete robust controller. The micro-actuator is part of a hard disk drive dual-stage servo-control system for positioning of the read/write head. The actuator inputs are constrained to retain the micro-actuator’s displacement range of less than 0.4 μ...
