<p>A system and method for controlling the movement of a member, particularly the heads of a disk file, to a specified position in a predetermined path, makes use of an electromagnetic actuator responsive to control signals and of position reference information and a transducing means for reading such information to produce a position signal. The position signal is sampled regularly and, together with the actuator control signal, used to update a velocity estimator. During the deceleration phase of the movement, a new actuator control signal is generated at each sample time from the square of the estimated velocity divided by the computed distance-to-go to the specified position.</p> |
