Abstract
A method for positioning and maintaining a disc head over a desired track centerline on a disc rotatably carried on a disc drive. The distance between the current position of the disc head and the desired track centerline is monitored, and a signal generally proportional to that distance is applied to the disc head moving mechanism to cause the disc head to move toward the track centerline. The control signal is clipped if it exceeds predetermined maximum and minimum values.
