Magnetic head position control system.

摘要

A magnetic head position control apparatus for driving the magnetic head (2) of a disc recording apparatus toward or away from the recording surface of a magneto-optical disc (5) to effect position control of the magnetic head. Changes in the distance between the magnetic head and the magneto-optical disc are detected from changes in capacitance between a capacitance detection electrode (6) mounted on the magnetic head and a surface of the magneto-optical disc. An oscillator circuit (7) connected to the capacitance detection electrode varies its oscillation frequency in response to changes in capacitance and detects such frequency variations and controls the position of the magnetic head for maintaining it at a constant predetermined distance from the magneto-optical disc.
