摘要
We developed a dual-stage actuator using a piezoelectric device for a magnetic disk drive with a high track density over 15 kTPI (tracks per inch). Conventional head positioning uses a VCM (Voice Coil Motor), whose actuator bandwidth limit makes it difficult to increase the track density by improving the accuracy of head positioning. The dual-stage actuator presented here uses a VCM rotary actuator as a coarse actuator and a piezoelectric actuator installed in a head-arm as a fine actuator. The stroke of the fine actuator is 4.6-mu-m, which is sufficient for a track pitch of 1.5-mu-m at 17 kTPI. The head position is detected by an optical method using a dot-pattern etched on a disk. This paper describes the design of the dual- stage actuator including structural analysis, its static and dynamic characteristics, dual-stage feedback control system, and experimental results of tracking with high accuracy on a 3.5" disk-drive unit.
