Abstract

See full text

An apparatus to improve the positioning accuracy of an actuator in a disc system. The apparatus provides for accelerating and braking the actuator at appropriate times during positioning operations in order to accurately position the actuator at a selected track on the disc. In addition, in order to maintain positioning accuracy in the presence of run-out, provision is made for detecting the occurrence of run-out by comparing positioning accuracy at spaced time intervals and blocking actuator braking at those times when it would be counter-productive to positioning accuracy.
