Fujitsu MAP3147FC, MAP3735FC manual General Description, Disk/head configuration

General Description

(2)Heads

The MR (Magnet - Resistive) of the CSS (contact start/stop) type heads are in contact with the disks when the disks are not rotating, and automatically float when the rotation is started. Figure 1.2 shows the configuration of disks and heads

(3)Spindle motor

The disks are rotated by a direct-drive hall-less DC motor. The motor speed is controlled by a feedback circuit using the counter electromotive current to precisely maintain the specified speed.

(4)Actuator

The actuator, which uses a rotary voice coil motor (VCM), consumes little power and generates little heat. The heads at the end of the actuator arm is controlled and positioned via feedback of servo information in the data.

The heads are positioned on the CCS zone over the disks when the power is off or the spindle motor is stopped.

(5)Air circulation (recirculation filter, breather filter)

The disk enclosure (DE) configures a sealed room to keep out dust and other pollutants. The DE has a closed-loop air recirculation system. Using the movement of the rotating disks, air is continuously cycled through a filter. This filter will trap any dust generated inside the enclosure and keep the air inside the DE contaminant free. To prevent negative pressure in the vicinity of the spindle when the disks begin rotating, a breather filter is attached. The breather filter also equalizes the internal air pressure with the atmospheric pressure due to surrounding temperature changes.
