Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: an actuating assembly comprising a head-gimbal suspension assembly (HGSA) connected to a first pivot point via second and third pivot points, the first and second pivot points connected via an actuating arm, the third pivot point disposed between the first and second pivot points, the third pivot point being fixed and positioning the first pivot point a predetermined, non-zero distance from a longitudinal axis of the HGSA, the HGSA connected to the second pivot point via a suspension and comprising first and second transducers aligned along the longitudinal axis of the HGSA; and a controller adapted to manipulate the HGSA about at least one of the pivot points in response to a predicted HGSA offset misalignment between at least one transducer and a centerline of a data track of an adjacent data storage medium.
