A discrete damping device has been developed to suppress the quasi-rigid-body mode and a reduction of 10 dB in amplitude is shown possible. The servo performance of the head actuator assembly with and without the damping device is presented in this paper, together with the measurement and prediction of the dynamic characteristics. Both closed- and open-loop transfer functions of the plant are measured in the actual operating environment on a servo test stand and compared with the simulation. It is found that the use of passive damping in the structure design allows for a greater margin of error at the crossover frequency since less phase loss results when notch filters are used, thus improving the stability robustness in feedback control.
