Dynamic Load/unload (L/UL) mechanism is an alternative to the contact start stop (CSS) technology which eliminates stiction and wear failure modes associated with CSS. Other benefits of L/UL include increased areal density due to smooth disk surfaces, thinner overcoats, and lower head flying height Improved shock resistance due to elimination of head slap, and reduced power consumption. Inertia latch mechanism becomes important for mobile disk drives because of non operating shock performance. Various types of latch designs have been introduced in hard disk drives to limit a rotary actuator from sudden uncontrolled motion. In this paper, a single spring inertia latch is introduced for a small form optical disk drive, which uses a rotary actuator for moving an optical pick-up. A new small inertia latch with single spring is designed to ensure both feasible and small size. The shock performance of the new inertia latch is experimentally verified.

Technological advance in information technology has sparked the necessity of small form factor (SFF) optical disk for mobile devices. Small form factor optical disk is highly anticipated to be a next generation storage device because it can be used for a cost-effective way compared with solid state memory. For the application to the 5 mm height small-form-factor optical disk drive, we have presented an optical flying head and swing arm actuator. In this study, we propose a small 1-axis actuator for compensating ficus error and SA due to the variation of cover-layer thickness in the cover-layered small optical disk. The main design issues of the 1-axis actuator are the realization of compact structure and the new support structure of the actuator: Finally, the compensating principle and performance of the 1-axis actuator will be explained.

The present state of the design of swing arm actuators for optical disc drives is to obtain the high efficient dynamic characteristics within a very compact volume. As a necessary consequence, the need of the small form factor (SFF) storage device has been arisen as major interests in the information storage technology. In this paper, we suggest the miniaturized swing arm type actuator that has high efficient dynamic characteristics for SFF optical disk drive (ODD). For the operating mechanism, it uses a tracking electromagnetic (EM) circuit for a focusing motion together. Moreover, due to the size constraint, the thermal stability of optical head is important. Therefore, the actuator is designed to emit the heat, which is generated by optical pick-up, along the actuator body easily. Initial model is designed based on the topology optimization method considering the thermal conductivity. Then, the structural parts of the actuator are modified to maintain the high sensitivity and to have wide control bandwidth by the design of experiments method (DOE) and new concept of decreasing mass and inertia. Finally, a swing arm type actuator for SFF ODD is suggested and its dynamic characteristics are verified.

본 논문에서는 스캐닝 미러의 일종으로, 광저장 장치의 픽업헤드용으로 미세회전을 하면서 레이저 빔을 편향시키는 용도로 사용되는 미러를 제작하고 구동실험을 하였다. 제작된 미러의 크기는 $2400{\times}2400{\times}64{\mu}m^3$이고, 빔 스프링은 $500{\times}9.6{\times}64{\mu}m^3$이다. 니켈 전해 도금으로 29${\mu}m$ 높이의 구동 전극을 제작하였고(세가지 모델: 공기통로가 없는 전극, 공기통로와 간격이 각각 200${\mu}m$인 전극, 공기통로와 간격이 각각 100${\mu}m$인 전극), 미러판과 전극을 조립하여(미러판과 전극 사이의 간격은 각각 29${\mu}m$, 26${\mu}m$, 26${\mu}m$) 구동실험을 하였다. 공진 주파수의 계산간은 576Hz, 측정값은 3개의 미러에서 모두 568Hz이었다. 전극과 미러판의 간격이 최대 접근거리 18${\mu}m$가 되도록 미세 회전을 시켰을 때, 공기통로가 없는 전극에서는 공진 주파수가 524Hz, 공기통로가 200${\mu}m$인 전극에서는 544Hz로 각각 감쇠되었고, 공기통로가 100${\mu}m$인 전극에서는 그대로 568Hz이었다.
