SERVO DATA STORING SYSTEM FOR HARD DISK STORAGE EQUIPMENT Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: computer engineering. SUBSTANCE: servo recording system measures position of head drives and outputs reference synchronization signal using semiconductor lasers. Inner reference signals for detection of position are provided by reflecting diffraction gratings which are connected to head drive lever and sleeve of disk drive spindle. Optical detectors read differential alterations in diffraction patterns including sensitivity to frequency drift. Electronic decoders converts data from optical detectors into signals for changing servo drive position. Electronic control units excites linear drive motor in disk drive, which positions record converter into position which is required for storing servo information which is provided by generator of servo system pattern generator. Transparent windows which are provided in cover of jacket which holds head and disk provides possibility to make record in disk drive in assembled and pressurized state. EFFECT: elimination of intervention into design of disk drive, increased efficiency for high-density disk drives. 8 cl, 20 dwg
