This book describes high-speed precision motion control technologies which are developed and applied to hard disk drives (HDDs). The first feature of this book is that all the editors and the authors are engineers and professors who are directly engaged in the study and development of HDD servo control. Each author describes the control technologies that he developed, and most of these technologies have already been successfully applied to mass production of HDDs. As the proposed methodologies have been verified on commercial HDDs at the very least, these advanced control technologies can also be readily applied to precision motion control of other mechatronic systems, ., scanners, micro-positioners, photocopiers, atomic.
