Abstract: The effect of pivot clearance on the dynamic characteristics of a rotary actuator for head positioning in magnetic disk storage is numerically investigated. A motion equation which takes pivot ...

Abstract: Dynamic analysis and control for accurate magnetic disk head positioning using a compact double-carriage rotary actuator is presented. Rolling mode vibration, due to a small dynamic imbalance in ...

Abstract: A dynamic modeling method is presented for spatial elastic manipulators that can account for a number of their realistic properties, including bearing clearances, actuator dynamics, and control ...
