Vibration Characteristics and Design Considerations of Micro Optical Disk Drives

As the form factor of the disk drive is decreased, many mechanical issues that are negligible in larger form factors, should be considered for the design of the miniature drives. This paper deals with basic research on vibration characteristics and design considerations of small disks and actuators. The natural frequencies of micro-sized disks with polycabonate and glass substrates are experimentally measured, being compared to FEM results. In order to investigate the effects of rotating speeds, airflow and disk size on power consumption. we measure power imposed to spindle motor when different optical disks are spins in vacuum chamber. Finally, The vibration characteristics of the micro actuator used in a IBM Microdrive are experimentally studied for the application to the basic design of micro optical disks.
