Abstract

According to one embodiment, a magnetic disk device includes a disk, a first head, a second head, an actuator configured to position the first head and the second head over the disk, and a controller configured to control the actuator based on a first value having a first waveform suppressing a disturbance component, wherein the controller is configured to invert, in the first waveform, a polarity of a third waveform succeeding a first timing with respect to a polarity of a second waveform preceding the first timing in a case where the first head is changed to the second head at the first timing.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A magnetic disk device comprising:
a disk comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;
a first head configured to execute read/write processing on the first surface;
a second head configured to execute read/write processing on the second surface;
an actuator configured to position the first head and the second head over the disk; and
a controller configured to control the actuator based on a first value having a first waveform suppressing a disturbance component,
wherein the controller is configured to invert, in the first waveform, a polarity of a third waveform succeeding a first timing with respect to a polarity of a second waveform preceding the first timing in a case where the first head is changed to the second head at the first timing.

2. The magnetic disk device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to adjust the third waveform such that the third waveform is continuous with the second waveform.

3. The magnetic disk device of claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to generate a second value by multiplying the third waveform by a first gain and a third value by multiplying a first amplitude of the second waveform at the first timing by a second gain, and adjust the third waveform by adding the third value to the second value.

4. The magnetic disk device of claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to generate a second value by multiplying the third waveform by a first gain and a third value by inverting a fourth waveform corresponding to a portion of the third waveform between the first timing and a second timing and multiplying a resultant waveform by a second gain, and adjust the third waveform by adding the third value to the second value.

5. The magnetic disk device of claim 3 , wherein the first gain increases over time, and
the second gain decreases over time.

6. The magnetic disk device of claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to adjust the third waveform by multiplying the third waveform by a first gain varying from a first polarity to a second polarity opposite to the first polarity over time between the first timing and a second timing.

7. The magnetic disk device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to start seek of the second head at the first timing.

8. The magnetic disk device of claim 1 , wherein the controller comprises a filter configured to output the first value based on an input value and a memory in which a past input value input to the filter before input of the input value and a past output value output from the filter before output of the first value are recorded.

9. The magnetic disk device of claim 8 , wherein the filter executes a loop shaping process.

10. The magnetic disk device of claim 9 , wherein the filter is an IIR filter and is configured to output the first value based on the past input value and the past output value.

11. An actuator control method applied to a magnetic disk device comprising a disk comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, a first head configured to execute read/write processing on the first surface, a second head configured to execute read/write processing on the second surface, and an actuator configured to position the first head and the second head over the disk, the actuator control method comprising:
controlling the actuator based on a first value having a first waveform suppressing a disturbance component,
inverting, in the first waveform, a polarity of a third waveform succeeding a first timing with respect to a polarity of a second waveform preceding the first timing in a case where the first head is changed to the second head at the first timing.

12. The actuator control method of claim 11 , further comprising:
adjusting the third waveform such that the third waveform is continuous with the second waveform.

13. The actuator control method of claim 12 , further comprising:
generating a second value by multiplying the third waveform by a first gain and a third value by multiplying a first amplitude of the second waveform at the first timing by a second gain, and:
adjusting the third waveform by adding the third value to the second value.

14. The actuator control method of claim 12 , further comprising:
generating a second value by multiplying the third waveform by a first gain and a third value by inverting a fourth waveform corresponding to a portion of the third waveform between the first timing and a second timing and multiplying a resultant waveform by a second gain, and
adjusting the third waveform by adding the third value to the second value.

15. The actuator control method of claim 13 , wherein the first gain increases over time, and
the second gain decreases over time.

16. The actuator control method of claim 12 , further comprising:
adjusting the third waveform by multiplying the third waveform by a first gain varying from a first polarity to a second polarity opposite to the first polarity over time between the first timing and a second timing.

17. The actuator control method of claim 11 , further comprising:
starting seek of the second head at the first timing.
