This study is dedicated to evaluate the performance of an automatic ball-type balancer system (ABS) installed in optical disk drives (ODDs) with consideration of the relative torsional motion between the ODD case and the spindle-disk-ABS-turntable system, noting that the turntable is the supporting plate structure for disk, pickup, and spindle motor inside the ODD. To this end, a complete dynamic model of the ABS considering the torsional motion is established with assuming finite torsional stiffness of the damping washers, which provides suspension of the spindle-disk-ABS-turntable system to the ODD case. Considering the benchmark case of a pair of balancing balls in an ABS, the method of multiple scales is then applied to formulate a scaled model for finding all possible steady-state solutions of ball positions and analyzing corresponding stabilities. The results are used to predict the levels of residual vibration, with which the performance of the ABS can then be reevaluated. Numerical simulations are conducted to verify theoretical results. It is deduced from both analytical and numerical results that the spindle speed of an ODD could be operated above both primary translational and secondary torsional resonances in order to guarantee stabilization of the desired balanced solution for a substantial vibration reduction.

Dual Stage Actuator

Large-capacity hard disk drives are important for the development of an information society. The capacities of hard disk drives depend on the positioning accuracy of magnetic heads, which read and write digital data, in disk-positioning control systems. Therefore, it is necessary to improve positioning accuracy to develop hard disk drives with large capacities. Hard disk drives employ dual-stage actuator systems to accurately control the magnetic heads. A dual-stage actuator system consists of a voice coil motor and micro-actuator. In micro-actuators, there is a trade-off between head-positioning accuracy and stroke limitation. In particular, in a conventional controller design, the micro-actuator is required to actuate such that it compensates for low-frequency vibration. To overcome this trade-off, this study proposes a high-bandwidth controller design for the micro-actuator in a dual-stage actuator system. The proposed method can reduce the required stroke of the micro-actuator by increasing the gain of the feedback controller of the voice coil motor at low frequencies. Although the voice coil motor control loop becomes unstable, the micro-actuator stabilizes the entire feedback loop at high frequencies. As a result, the control system improves the positioning accuracy compared to that achieved by conventional control methods, and the required micro-actuator stroke is reduced.
