摘要:
This invention relates to a motor velocity control method and storage device for performing loading/unloading control of a head that reads from a storage medium in order to move it away from the storage medium. In order to detect accurate velocity from the counter electromotive voltage of the motor for performing loading/unloading control, the storage device comprises a storage medium 6, head 4, actuator 3, control circuit 19 and ramp 11. Velocity control is performed by using the velocity detected from the counter electromotive voltage of the actuator 3 in the unloading/loading control of moving the head 4 away from the storage medium 6. Moreover, the transient response voltage of the actuator is calculated and the detected voltage is corrected. Furthermore, the velocity offset coefficient for converting the counter electromotive voltage to velocity is calibrated. Also, the velocity correction coefficient for converting the counter electromotive voltage to velocity is calibrated. This makes it possible to obtain accurate velocity from the counter electromotive voltage.

A disk apparatus having a ramp loading mechanism. A disk medium on which second servo patterns have been written in a landing area on the medium at a finer interval than that of first servo patterns written in a data area is used. When a head is moved from a ramp to the landing area on the medium, a lead-in processing unit performs a servo lead-in on the basis of the second servo patterns written in the landing area at a fine interval.

A disk unit has a function of loading a head on a disk from a holding mechanism during a load operation and unloading the head from the disk during an unload operation. The disk unit includes a controller which controls a movement of the head so that the loading operation and the unloading operation are carried out in a specific region on the disk, and the specific region extends for an angular range smaller than 360°. Alternatively, the controller controls the movement of the head so that the loading operation and the unloading operation are carried out uniformly in a circumferential direction of the disk within a specific region on the disk.

A head speed control method for a disk unit having a head provided on a tip end of an arm is constructed to include a step of switching and controlling a head speed to a plurality of target speeds which are set in advance, during at least one of a ramp unload operation in which the head is receded to a parking area other than on a recording surface of a disk and a ramp load operation in which the head receded at the parking area is returned on the recording surface of the disk.

This invention relates to a head loading/unloading method for moving a head that reads storage medium away from that storage medium, and makes optimal unloading operation possible. In a storage device comprising a storage medium 6, head 4, actuator 3 and control circuits 9, when the amount of continuous time when there is no access reaches the unload starting time, the head 4 is moved away from the storage medium 6. This unload starting time is made to be variable and is changed according to the state of the device. Therefore, an optimal unloading operation that corresponds to the state of the device is possible, that also has a balance among device life, access time and resistance to shock.

This invention intends to provide a storage unit capable of improving data transmission efficiency and reducing a seek time. The storage unit of this invention comprises a read/write head for carrying out read/write with respect to a recording medium, a VCM for moving the read/write head during seek operation, and a seek command executing section for outputting a VCM voltage when a seek start permission signal is inputted from a seek timing issuing section. The seek timing issuing section outputs a seek start permission signal in order to start the seek operation to the seek command executing section at a timing at which the read/write operation ends.

A magnetic disk unit writes, on a magnetic disk, a burst position error data which is used for correcting a positional error of a burst pattern which is used for correcting an error within one track, next to the burst pattern. A write head is controlled a position so as to satisfy a relationship M=N when (N−1)K

The magnetic disk drive system has a read head and a write head, writes data on the track of the disk, and reads data on the track of the disk. In the present invention, the distance between the heads in the circumferential direction of the disk is computed. The distance between the heads is computed based on the distance between the position of the write head where said data is written and the position of the read head where said data is read. The timing when data is written by the write head is determined by adding said distance to the position where the data is written. Thus, the efficiency of the format of the disk is improved.

An aluminum extruded door beam includes an outer flange, an inner flange, and at least one web for connecting the outer flange and the inner flange. The outer corners at the extended ends of the outer flange have a radius R of 2.5 mm or less. The outward corners at the connections between the web and the inner flange and between the web and the outer flange have a radius R of 2 mm to 4 mm. The radius of the outward corners at the connections between the web and the inner flange and between the web and the outer flange is 1.5 to 2 times the width of the web. The length of the extended ends of the outer flange is 1 to 2 times the radius R of the outward corner at the connections between the web and the outer and inner flanges. The aluminum alloy extruded door beam material contains 0.8 to 1.5% by weight (hereinafter the same) of Mg and 4 to 7% of Zn, and the recrystallization surface layer has a thickness of 50 &mgr;m or less.
