4.7  Servo Control

 

4.7  Servo Control 

The actuator motor and the spindle motor are submitted to servo control.  The 
actuator motor is controlled for moving and positioning the head to the track 
containing the desired data.  To turn the disk at a constant velocity, the actuator 
motor is controlled according to the servo data that is written on the data side 
beforehand. 

4.7.1  Servo control circuit
