Abstract
Design concepts of the mechanical and servo system of a newly-developed compact disk drive are discussed. This new drive features 10 inch diameter disks with a capacity above 400 Mega-bytes. The mechanical structure, with its own closed self-circulating air system , is designed to minimize thermal offtrack and undesired vibration. A new rotary type head actuator is accommodated, and servo system design is based on an optimal control theory to achieve fast, precise positioning.Keywords
