Abstract :
Discusses the design of adaptive feedforward control for dual stage servo system in disk drives, which utilizes the vibration signal obtained from instrumented suspension, in order to compensate track mis-registration (TMR) due to air flow excited suspension vibration. Experiments are conducted on a spin stand to evaluate the TMR due to air flow excited suspension vibration using LDV. Adaptive feedforward control is designed to cancel suspension vibration, by using the strain signal on the surface of the instrumented suspension, and controlling slider with a MEMS microactuator (MA). An off-line MA model identification method, which does not utilizes relative position sensing is also proposed. Simulations show the proposed technique can successfully suppress the suspension vibration induced TMR
