Abstract

See full text

Damaging head crashes are prevented in a disk drive system by providing a specially chosen RC network between the head position control servo and the head actuator. The values of the RC network are chosen in conjunction with the servo output voltage so that, without detracting from head access time, the maximum head velocity will be limited to a value which will prevent damaging head crashes even when a fault occurs in the system.
