ABSTRACT:
An actuator in a disc drive is controlled to position a transducer over a target track on a disc surface. Movement of the actuator is initiated so the transducer begins moving toward the target track. The actuator is decelerated, as the transducer approaches the target track, according to a deceleration curve which is varied based on drive characteristics.
