Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the use of a spindle motor of low torque for a head contact type disk memory device by providing a means which gives the dither motion to the head in parallel to the surface of a rotary medium. CONSTITUTION:The frictional force Ff always acts against the actuation of a medium 5 to a slider head aggregate 8. Therefore, the motion of the aggregate 8 overcomes the force Ff to the medium 5 in all directions within a plane parallel to the surface of the medium 5 in case the motion of the aggregate 8 has the sufficiently large force. When other frictional force Fa is applied in either direction parallel to the surface of the medium 5 at a sufficient level that overcomes the force Ff, the torque needed for revolution of the medium 5 set under the aggregate 8 is reduced greatly. The acceleration of a spindle motor is continued up to the maximum moving speed by a continuous dither action of the aggregate 8 and the moment energy stored to the medium 5 serving as a flywheel.

The spindle motor of a disk memory device is the main motor of the device! ! It is the constituent hair element 11flA. However, as the motor becomes smaller, the starting torque decreases. Of course, it is possible to design small spindle motors with higher starting torques. However, such motors generally require more power and generate a large amount of heat, which are major disadvantages of small disk memory devices.

In a head-contact disk memory device, a starting torque of -9 is required from the spindle motor due to contact friction between the head and the disk. The friction can be higher if the head and disk media materials are different. The greater the friction, the greater the starting torque delivered to the spindle motor.

Referring again to FIG. 3, the friction between the head and the medium: wL
The torque required to overcome the force Tf exhibits strange variations and can even exceed Tm, as indicated by number 30. This change in Tf is due to a change in the properties of the wear layer on the surface of the medium 50. However, here too, due to the continuous dithering operation of the head slider assembly 8 according to the present invention, the inertial energy accumulated in the medium 5 acting as a flywheel causes
The spindle motor continues to accelerate, and when the head slider assembly 8 reaches its maximum operating speed and begins to float above the surface of the medium 50, Tf begins to decrease significantly to 5 as shown at 32 (tt). When the head slider assembly 8 completely floats, Tf
This value is related to the configuration of the air bearing surface of the head slider assembly 8.

It should be noted that the motors used to drive the head positioners of disk memory devices are typically stepper motors with high starting torque characteristics. A good positioning motor is necessary to guarantee. Stepper motors designed for hend positioner systems provide high torque output to provide inherent holding force to reduce trunk tracking errors due to mechanical vibrations, etc. Therefore, such high torque output capabilities, which are already used in most head-contact disc memory devices, require less power to be used during the starting operation, and thus require smaller, lower torque, lower power spindle motors. can be used. The torque of the stepper motor will be Fa by considering the mechanical design of the head positioner system. [Effects of the Invention] According to the invention, since the dither operation of the hendobj7yon system is used, it can be small, A low torque, low power spindle motor could be used
