Abstract

This paper presents the fabrication and testing results of a dual stage microactuator system for fine positioning of magnetic heads in hard disk drives. An electrostatic rotary microactuator was newly designed and fabricated. The microactuator was integrated into the head gimbal assembly of a disk drive system and its dynamic characteristics were investigated. Experimental results show that natural frequency and voltage gain of the microactuator are 4.3 KHz and 25 nm/V and the dual stage microactuator system achieves the tracking accuracy of 30 nm.
