HEAD POSITION CONTROL METHOD AND DISK DEVICE

摘要

A track locus drawn on a disk discretely contains repeatable runout (RRO) components which are large in amplitude up to high-frequency band. In order to position a magnetic head along the track locus using filters good at suppressing RRO with resonance characteristics only at an integral multiple of a rotation frequency, many filters are required and thus it takes a long time for all the filters to go into a steady state. After learning until the filers go into a steady state, output values of the filters in a steady state are stored on a disk or in a memory. According to controlling the magnet head using these stored output values, the time required for the filters to go into a steady state becomes unnecessary.
