Abstract:
A disc drive includes a base and a disc rotatably attached to the base. The disc drive also includes an actuator assembly rotatably attached to the base and a device for moving the actuator assembly. The actuator assembly includes an arm carrying a transducer head in a transducing relationship with respect to the disc. The disc drive further includes a servo circuitry and a controller for controlling movement of the actuator assembly during a track follow and a track seek. Piezoelectric transducers are attached to the actuator assembly for non-intrusive measurement of stiction and friction forces developed between the transducer head and the disc during a disc drive spin-up.
