Abstract
One of the main obstacles of high track density is the confined servo bandwidth due to the low resonant frequencies of the mechanical components. We study the dynamic characteristics of the actuator system with a thin cantilever beam-like structure by using the finite element analysis. We develop the finite element models of each components of the actuator system and analyze the dynamics of the overall actuator system. The frequency response analysis shows that the modes regarding to the pivot bearing dominate in the lateral response. The lateral and vertical responses at the dimple point are compared with those for the suspension model to study the dynamic characteristics of a coupled structure.
