Problems solved by technology

[0013] However, for the method of driving the magnetic head with a constant current, the current is proportional to the force and the force is proportional to the acceleration, so depending on the moving speed and position of the magnetic head when the power failure occurs, when toward the opposite direction of the stay (ramp) 106 When driving the magnetic head, it is difficult to ensure the collision speed of the magnetic head against the inner stopper of the arm 108, and the magnetic head assembly may be damaged
[0014] Depending on the moving speed and position of the magnetic head when the power failure occurs, the speed at which it approaches the strut (ramp) 106 will also deviate, and the arm 108 may contact the strut 106 at high speed and cause damage to the magnetic head assembly
In addition, due to the large deviation of the individual disk drives due to the deviation of the external force, it is difficult to design and ensure that the head is safely retracted (unloaded) at a speed that will not cause damage to the head assembly.

Abstract

A head retracting method retracts a head to a retract position which is different from a disk to perform a stable unload operation when a power supply failure occurs, regardless the position and the velocity of the head. When the power supply failure occurs, controller controls that the head reaches the inner stopper, which is at a predetermined position in an opposite direction from, the ramp, so as to stop at the inner stopper at a predetermined position without receiving impact, regardless what position the head is and regardless what velocity the head is moving. The head is unloaded from the predetermined position by constant voltage driving, so the head contacts the ramp and climbs onto the ramp at a predetermined velocity.

Description

[0001] This application is based on and claims the benefit of priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2002-328632 filed on November 12, 2002, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a magnetic disk device, a magnetic head retracting method and a control circuit of a magnetic head actuator for retracting a magnetic head for reading / writing a magnetic disk to a storage position when a power failure occurs. Background technique [0003] In a disk drive, a magnetic medium (disk) is rotated during operation by a spindle motor, with a magnetic head suspended over the magnetic medium. If a power failure occurs in this state, a head retraction operation is performed. When a power outage occurs, the power supplied from the power supply to the drive of the VCM to move the head ceases, so the power to be used to retract the head must be from outside the power supply. [0004] An example of using...
