1.2 Drive Configuration
C156-E205-01EN 1-7
1.2.2 Configuration
Figure 1.3 shows the drive configuration.
The drive consists of mechanical sections, a fixed optics section, actuator, and a
control circuit section. The mechanical sections include the spindle motor,
actuator section, bias magnet, and the cartridge folder vertical motion mechanism.
The fixed optics section consists of the optical components, position detector, and
LD controller.
The control circuit sections include the drive control circuit section and ATAPI
controller section.

1.2.3 Mechanical sections
(1) Optical disk cartridge load/eject
The system includes a cartridge mechanism which lowers the optical disk cartridge
and mounts (loads) it on the spindle motor automatically when the optical disk
cartridge is fully inserted in the optical disk drive's disk slot, and a mechanism
which automatically ejects the cartridge when the Eject button on the front panel is
pressed.
(2) Spindle motor
Optical disk cartridge hubs are linked through magnetic clamps to minimize
slippage between the spindle motor shaft and disk. The spindle motor is the direct
drive type which rotates the disk at the same speed as the spindle motor shaft. A
DC brushless spindle motor is used. The spindle motor rotates at 5,455 rpm ±
0.1%.
(3) Actuator section
The positioner moves (seeks) a head actuator radically across the disk surface.
