ABSTRACT:
For the servo track control of magnetic heads over magnetic tracks, in addition to the main servo position signals arranged in offset fashion to the middle of the track, auxiliary servo position signals are provided symmetrically on each side of the middle of the track. These auxiliary servo position signals are offset along the track length relative to each other and are smaller than half the track width. In the determination of the position error signal, they serve to indicate the tilting of the magnetic head relative to the recording track in that they are unequal. If the magnetic head deviates greatly from the middle of the track, these auxiliary servo position signals can be added to the main servo position signals to obtain a stronger position error signal. For determining and compensating uniform disturbance variables, the momentary values of a control signal are measured and a mean value is formed thereof which, at predetermined intervals, is added to a preceding mean value, stored, and entered as an additional control signal to the control path.
