<p>METHOD FOR CLEANING THE DISC SURFACE AND THE HEAD SUPPORT STRUCTURE IN A MAGNETIC DISC DRIVE In a magnetic disc drive, there is disclosed a method for cleaning the magnetic disc surfaces and the heads. The heads are loaded and caused to fly on the disc surfaces. The spindle motor speed is reduced to a speed where the heads fly at approximately 50% of the normal flying height and the head support structure drive motor is commanded to sweep the heads across the disc surfaces, forward and reverse; for several cycles, to remove any particles down to an elevation that is 50% of the normal flying height. The heads are then positioned over unused tracks on the disc surfaces and the spindle motor speed is reduced to a speed where the heads fly at approximately 25% of the normal flying height so as to scrub off any particles left on the heads. The spindle motor speed is then returned to normal speed and a 25% margin of interference-free operation has been assured.</p> |
