To achieve frequency separation between actuators of a dual-stage servo actuator system in a hard disk drive, the PQ control design method can be used. In the PQ method, the servo controller is designed by focusing on structural interference of the actuators. This paper provides a specific parametrization for fixed order feedback controllers used in the PQ-method for which the structural interference between actuators can be minimized. The proposed control design method is applied to a dual-stage instrumented suspension, where the additional sensor of the instrumented suspension is used to attenuate high frequency disturbance caused by windage turbulence in a hard disk drive.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
