Abstract:In this paper, we proposed a novel single-sided magnet voice coil motor (VCM) design that can reduce out-of-plane force. Out-of-plane force of a VCM causes the actuator vibration, which results in settling vibration and acoustic noise. The proposed single-sided magnet VCM consists of a round coil and an axe-shaped magnet. We designed the optimized configuration by using numerical magnetic field simulation and compared its performance with those of a conventional VCM. Torsional moment was reduced by 90% at the worst position of the middle track, and bending moment was reduced by 50% at the worst position of the inner track compared with a conventional VCM. Rotational moment in our VCM was almost the same as that of the conventional one. We manufactured an actuator with the new design VCM and confirmed that the new single-sided magnet VCM shows a good performance as expected, although its magnet volume and coil resistance were almost the same as a conventional design. The measured frequency response of the actuators from the coil current to the head displacement showed that the coil torsional mode vibration of the proposed VCM is reduced remarkably.
