Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dissertation, the design of servo control algorithms is investigated to produce high-density and cost-effective hard disk drives (HDDs). In order to sustain the continuing increase of HDD data storage density, dual-stage actuator servo systems using a secondary micro-actuator have been developed to improve the precision of read/write head positioning control by increasing their servo bandwidth. In this dissertation, the modeling and control design of dual-stage track-following servos are considered. Specifically, two track-following control algorithms for dual-stage HDDs are developed. The designed controllers were implemented and evaluated on a disk drive with a PZT-actuated suspension-based dual-stage servo system. Usually, the feedback position error signal (PES) in HDDs is sampled on some specified servo sectors with an equidistant sampling interval, which implies that HDD servo systems with a regular sampling rate can be modeled as linear time-invariant (LTI) systems. However, sampling intervals for HDD servo systems are not always equidistant and sometimes, an irregular sampling rate due to missing PES sampling data is unavoidable. With the natural periodicity of HDDs, which is related to the disk rotation, those HDD servo systems with missing PES samples can be modeled as linear periodically time-varying (LPTV) systems. For the control synthesis of HDD servos with irregular sampling rates, an explicit optimal H_infinity control synthesis algorithm for general LPTV systems is first obtained by solving discrete Riccati equations. Then, the optimal H_infinity track-following control for irregular-sampling-rate servos is synthesized. Simulation and experiment studies, which have been carried out on a set of actual single-stage hard disk drives, demonstrate that the proposed control synthesis technique is able to handle irregular sampling rates and can be used to conveniently design a track-following servo that achieves the robust performance of a desired error rejection function for disturbance attenuation. Moreover, experiment results show that compared to the currently-used methodology for irregular sampling rates, the proposed control algorithm has significantly improved the servo performance. In addition, the feedback signal in HDD servos is generated from the servo patterns that must be pre-recorded using servo track writing process before the HDD can be used. Thus, the quality of the servo track writing process is also crucial to the accuracy of positioning read/write head. Recently, self-servo track writing has been developed in order to improve the quality of the written servo patterns and reduce the cost of servo track writing process. This dissertation considers two novel controller synthesis methodologies employing a feedforward control structure for performing concentric self-servo track writing in hard disk drives. Simulation results confirm that the two proposed control synthesis methodologies prevent error propagation from the previously written tracks and significantly improve servo track writing performance.

The series offers an opportunity for researchers to present an extended exposition of such new work in all aspects of industrial control for wider and rapid dissemination. From time to time a particular practical control problem emerges as a challenge to the design capabilities of the control community. One example has been the activated sludge process in wastewater systems where the process is highly nonlinear and measurements are few. A second example is the hard disk drive servo system. These widely used systems are critical to the operation of modem computing devices. They are nonlinear and demand a high-precision control system for the operations of track seeking and track following. There are also alternative actuation systems available to achieve these objectives. In this Advances in Industrial Control monograph B.M. Chen, T.H. Lee and V.

Download or read book Hard Disk Drive written by Abdullah Al Mamun and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hard disk drive is one of the finest examples of the precision control of mechatronics, with tolerances less than one micrometer achieved while operating at high speed. Increasing demand for higher data density as well as disturbance-prone operating environments continue to test designers' mettle. Explore the challenges presented by modern hard disk drives and learn how to overcome them with Hard Disk Drive: Mechatronics and Control. Beginning with an overview of hard disk drive history, components, operating principles, and industry trends, the authors thoroughly examine the design and manufacturing challenges. They start with the head positioning servomechanism followed by the design of the actuator servo controller, the critical aspects of spindle motor control, and finally, the servo track writer, a critical technology in hard disk drive manufacturing. By comparing various design approaches for both single- and dual-stage servomechanisms, the book shows the relative pros and cons of each approach. Numerous examples and figures clarify and illustrate the discussion. Exploring practical issues such as models for plants, noise reduction, disturbances, and common problems with spindle motors, Hard Disk Drive: Mechatronics and Control avoids heavy theory in favor of providing hands-on insight into real issues facing designers every day.
