Abstract

A rotation control for a magnet used in a magneto-optical recording system having a first coil that rotates a permanent magnet to invert the polarity of its magnetic field applied to an optical recording type disc and a second coil provided at the position displaced from the central line of the first coil and for applying a driving force to the permanent magnet when the permanent magnet begins to rotate, wherein the permanent magnet can be settled in quite a short time after it is inverted in polarity by controlling a drive current applied to the second coil.
