In this article, active vibration control of a micro-actuator for hard disk drives using self-sensing actuation is presented. The micro-actuators used in this article are a slider type and a suspension type. The self-sensing performance of the installing position is compared and evaluated. An assembly including these micro-actuators may not be able to sense some vibration of suspension modes. Feedback control results of direct velocity feedback and positive position feedback are presented. The feasibility of these self-sensing approaches as a vibration suppression control on the micro-actuator was verified. Using the slider type micro-actuator, the sway mode spike signal in power spectrum density was suppressed by 76% using the direct velocity feedback control, and by 60% using the positive position feedback control. Using the suspension type micro-actuator, the suspension second bending mode spike signal in power spectrum density was reduced by 74% using the direct velocity feedback control, and by 96% using the positive position feedback control. The control scheme using self-sensing signals can partially dampen the suspension modes.
