Abstract
A disk apparatus includes: an actuator 7; a driver 10; a voltage detector 11 for outputting first voltage signal Ed which is produced in a driving coil 5 of the actuator 7; a voltage signal adjuster 16 for outputting pseudo disturbance signal ur and generating second voltage signal Ed+ from pseudo disturbance signal ur, driving signal u, first voltage signal Ed, and disturbance estimation signal τdest; a disturbance estimator 12 for estimating the magnitude of disturbance load τd applied to a magnetic head 2 from driving signal u and second voltage signal Ed+ to output disturbance estimation signal τdest; a position detector 13 for generating position error signal e which corresponds to a current position of the magnetic head 2; a position controller 14 for generating control signal c from position error signal e; and a corrector 15 for generating driving signal u from disturbance estimation signal τdest and position control signal c.
