Abstract: A method of centering a disk (14) on a disk drive motor (10) with respect to the rotational axis (11) of the motor (10) and/or for balancing the disk (14) to reduce operating vibration of the disk (14) and motor assembly. The centering/balancing method is performed by placing a contact element (30) in contact with the outer diameter (20) of the disk (14) and moving the contact element (30) towards the rotational axis (11) of the motor (10) until the inner diameter (22) of the disk (14) contacts a portion of the hub (12) of the motor (10) which protrudes into the center hole of the disk (14). Then, the disk (14) is rotated while the contact element (30) is simultaneously moved away from the rotational axis (11) of the motor (10) at a rate related to the rotational speed of the disk (14).

Abstract: A method for controlling assertion of a write inhibit signal in a disk drive (20) is described. The disk drive comprises at least one rotating disk (22) having data recording surfaces, and a head (24) for each recording surface. Each head is mounted by an actuator (28) for selective positioning of the head over the respective disk surface. Each disk surface includes data tracks. The method comprises the steps of calculating and storing a write inhibit threshold value (42a) for each head in the disk drive, performing a track following operation to determine position of a preselected head relative to a preselected data track, retrieving the write inhibit threshold value for the preselected head, comparing the determined head position to the retrieved write inhibit threshold value and asserting a write inhibit signal upon a certain relationship between the determined head position and the retrieved write inhibit threshold value.

Abstract: A digital phase detector that stores four sequential digital samples in a shift register (15). The contents of the shift register (15) is evaluated at one half the clock frequency which generate the digital samples. The digital phase detector predicts what the value should be for each of the two middle samples in the shift register. The predicted value and the actual value of each middle sample are used to generate a correction signal (20, 21). The correction signals for the two middle samples are then added (22) to produce a total correction signal which is to be used in controlling the phase and frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator in the phase locked loop generating the clock that controls the generation of the digital samples.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed wherein the position of a recording head is kept in proper alignment with the centerline of the track of a recording medium despite any tape wander. Further, the speed in which the tape propagates during both read and write modes is maintained. These functions are performed using the servo information written into the tracks of the recording medium. Tape propagation speed is controlled by adding the servo signal together. Head positioning is controlled by taking the difference between the servo signals. A method using Walsh Transforms is disclosed for normalizing the amplitude of the servo information used to accurately control head positioning and tape propagation speed.

Abstract: A disk drive for flying at extremely low flying heights. The drive includes a disk clamp for clamping one or more disks within the disk drive, with the clamp exerting a substantially uniform pressure at the circular line of contact between the clamp and the disk. The disk clamp includes a raised circular wall around an outer radius of the clamp, which wall is formed as part of and integrally with the rest of the clamp. The wall serves to increase the structural rigidity of the clamp in a single axial section of the clamp, thereby providing a "stress barrier" to the transmission of localized stresses from the screw points. Thus, the pressure exerted by the clamp on the disk is evenly distributed around the entire clamp, and the distortion normally occurring at the inner diameter of the disk with conventional disk clamps is greatly reduced.
