ABSTRACT:
A method of determining a correction factor for a voice coil motor of a disk drive device is performed by driving a relatively low current through the voice coil motor during a seek operation. Actuator velocity is then measured. A correction factor is calculated as a function of the actuator velocity to allow estimation of velocity as a function of back EMF.
