Voltage-constrained sinusoidal seek servo in hard disk drives

   
   

A method, apparatus and computer program for performing a servo seek according to a voltage-constrained sinusoidal acceleration trajectory. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a hard disk drive which has a disk with a surface, spin motor, transducer, and an actuator arm to move a transducer across the surface of the disk. The apparatus further includes a controller that controls the actuator arm and to perform a seek having a length. The actuator arm moves the transducer across the surface of the disk with an essentially sinusoidal acceleration trajectory using a substantially constant voltage. In another embodiment, the substantially constant voltage is based on the maximum voltage from a power supply.
