Principle of Operation 8.2.1 Disks The disk configuration of each DE is shown in Figure 1.2. • The DE for the MAN3735 series contains 4 disks whose external diameter is 84 mm and internal diameter is 25 mm. • The DE for the MAN3367 series contains 2 disks whose external diameter is 84 mm and internal diameter is 25 mm. Each time disk rotation stops, the read-write heads touch the disk surfaces. Disk surfaces withstand at least 20,000 head touch operations at disk rotation start and stop. 8.2.2 Heads The read/write head configuration is shown in Figure 1.3. There are 8 read/write heads for the MAN3735 series and 4 for the MAN3367 series. These heads float up from the surface of the disk automatically when the spindle motor's speed has reached a certain speed. 8.2.3 Spindle mechanism The spindle mechanism consists of a disk stack assembly and a spindle motor. The disk stack assembly is directly driven by the direct drive type DC spindle motor. The rotational frequency of this spindle motor is 10,025 min-1(10,025rpm). A counter-electromotive force is generated by the drive current in the spindle motor coil. A fixed rotational frequency of the spindle is maintained by comparing the frequency of the counter-electromotive voltage with the reference frequency generated by the crystal oscillator. 8.2.4 Actuator The actuator consists of a voice coil motor (VCM) and a head carriage. The voice coil motor moves the head carriage to the inner or outer side of the disk. The head carriage position is controlled by feeding back servo information read by the heads. 8.2.5 Air filters There are two filters in the disk drive, the breathing filter and the circulation filter. The breathing filter is used to conduct filtered air into and out of the DE. Starting or stopping the disk generates heat in the spindle motor in the DE, causing temperature variation in the DE. This temperature variation expands or compresses the air in the DE causing the filtered air to come in or go out of the DE. At times when the atmospheric air pressure changes, such as when the disk drive is shipped by airmail, filtered air enters the DE. The circulation filter catches dust or dirt that may get inside the DE. Air is continuously circulating inside the drive and passing through the circulation filter, utilizing a closed loop air circulation system that uses the blower effect of the rotating disks. 8-2 C141-E133-02EN
