A feedback active method is proposed to control the flow-induced vibration (FIV) of the head gimbals assembly (HGA) through suppressing the pressure fluctuations around the HGA. Firstly pressure fluctuations and FIV measurements are carried out around the HGA in a working hard disk drive, and the re...
