Head

Figure 4.1 shows the read/write head structures. The Numerals 0 to 7 indicate read/write
heads. These heads are raised from the disk surface as the spindle motor approaches the rated
rotation speed.

4.2.3 Spindle
The spindle consists of a disk stack assembly and spindle motor. The disk stack assembly is
activated by the direct drive sensor-less DC spindle motor, which has a speed of 5,400 rpm.
The spindle is controlled with detecting a PHASE signal generated by counter electromotive
voltage of the spindle motor at starting. After that, the rotational speed is kept with detecting a
servo information.
4.2.4

Actuator

The actuator consists of a voice coil motor (VCM) and a head carriage. The VCM moves the
head carriage along the inner or outer edge of the disk.
controlled by feeding back the difference of the target position that is detected and reproduced
from the servo information read by the read/write head.
