Hard disk drive systems are ubiquitous in today’s computer systems and the technology is still evolving. There is a review of hard disk drive technology and construction in the early pages of this monograph that looks at the characteristics of the disks and there it can be read that: “bit density... continues to increase at an amazing rate”, “spindle speed... the move to faster and faster spindle speeds continue”, “form factors... the trend...is downward... to smaller and smaller drives”, “performance... factors are improving”, “redundant arrays of inexpensive disks... becoming increasingly common, and is now seen in consumer desktop machines”, “reliability... is improving slowly... it is very hard to improve the reliability of a product when it is changing rapidly” and finally “interfaces... continue to create new and improved standards... to match the increase in performance of the hard disks themselves”.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dual-stage actuation is an important technology enabler for advancing hard disk drive capacity and performance. This thesis describes the ongoing trend of decreasing track pitches required for areal density growth and increasing disturbances arising from rising spindle speeds, demonstrating that future dual-stage actuators will need to overcome the bandwidth limitations faced by the current suspension-based devices. First, the state of the art for dual-stage actuation is presented in the form of a literature review. This is followed by an overview of a new servo-mechanical design and analysis technique which is a hybrid of Galerkin beam elements and optimal linear quadratic Gaussian control analysis. This new technique is used to demonstrate the potential performance benefits of head-based actuation over suspension-based actuation. With the driving goal of designing a new head-based actuator, the constraints posed by industry are presented and discussed in detail. This is followed by an overview of the various actuation mechanisms evaluated, including several electrostatic and piezoelectric devices. The two most significant challenges identified through this analysis are the introduction of a gap at the trailing edge of the air-bearing and the necessity to actuate traces with sufficiently high actuation force. A quasi-shear mode piezoelectric actuator is proposed as a cost-effective head-based actuator which meets the given criteria and can be implemented at the wafer-scale. A new prototype was fabricated at the Berkeley Nanofabrication Laboratory with a measured bandwidth above 50 kHz. Since the proposed head-based actuation scheme requires a gap in the air-bearing surface, a second actuation mode is also presented. It is shown that the gap width between the slider body and read/write head can be controlled independently of track-following displacement in order to minimize pressure loss at the air-bearing surface. It is also shown that the directionality along each actuation mode of this device is greater that 1:10, although the resolution of measurement tools makes it difficult to determine how much greater the directionality is. The two key figures of merit for this project are microactuator bandwidth and static displacement gain. For the prototype presented herein, the bandwidth is shown to be greater than 50 kHz, which is the highest frequency measurable by the available equipment. The static gain is measured to be approximately 1 nm/V. With sol-gel based stacking methods, however, the static gain could be scaled as high as 20 nm/V or more, although this will require further investigation by industry to develop. The intellectual merits of this project include a newly developed servo-mechanical design tool, modified beam equations with piezoelectric energy taken into account, and several new fabrication methods. The new fabrication methods include chemical mechanical polishing of PMN-PT, eutectic bonding of PMN-PT to silicon, scribing high aspect-ratio geometry in PMN-PT with a dicing blade, epoxy drop deposition with flipchip bonding, and fabrication of tall MEMS structures with sacrificial copper plating with a wet etch release.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saturation nonlinearities are ubiquitous in engineering systems. In control systems, every physical actuator or sensor is subject to saturation owing to its maximum and minimum limits. A digital filter is subject to saturation if it is implemented in a finite word length format. Saturation nonlinearities are also purposely introduced into engineering systems such as control sys tems and neural network systems. Regardless of how saturation arises, the analysis and design of a system that contains saturation nonlinearities is an important problem. Not only is this problem theoretically challenging, but it is also practically imperative. This book intends to study control systems with actuator saturation in a systematic way. It will also present some related results on systems with state saturation or sensor saturation. Roughly speaking, there are two strategies for dealing with actuator sat uration. The first strategy is to neglect the saturation in the first stage of the control design process, and then to add some problem-specific schemes to deal with the adverse effects caused by saturation. These schemes, known as anti-windup schemes, are typically introduced using ad hoc modifications and extensive simulations. The basic idea behind these schemes is to intro duce additional feedbacks in such a way that the actuator stays properly within its limits. Most of these schemes lead to improved performance but poorly understood stability properties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edited by Takashi Yamaguchi, Mitsuo Hirate, and Chee Khiang Pang, with contributions from pioneers known for their ground-breaking work, High-Speed Precision Motion Control discusses high-precision and fast servo controls in hard disk drives (HDDs). The chapter authors describe the control technologies they’ve developed, most of which have already been successfully applied to mass production of HDDs. As the proposed methodologies have been verified on commercial HDDs at the very least, these advanced control technologies can also be readily applied to precision motion control of other mechatronic systems, e.g., scanners, micro-positioners, photocopiers, atomic force microscopes (AFMs), etc. Each self-contained chapter progresses from concept to technique and presents application examples in automotive, aerospace, aeronautical, and manufacturing engineering. The control technologies are categorized into high-speed servo control, precision control, and environment-friendly control, making it easy to find an appropriate control technology according to their domain of application. The book also makes MATLAB®/SIMULINK® codes for benchmark problems available for download. The control technologies described range from fundamental classical control theories to advanced topics such as multi-rate control. The content contains a healthy balance between materials from the contributor’s research works and that in the wider literature. The resulting resource empowers engineers and managers with the knowledge and know-how to make important decisions and policies.
