In a rotary-disk transducer position control apparatus and method in which positional information concerning a transducer relative to a rotary disk based on a signal is obtained from the transducer which is disposed in opposition to the rotary disk, a seek instruction is inputted through an input device so that a first transducer access mechanism is caused to make the transducer perform a seeking operation at a low speed with a large stroke in accordance with both the positional information and the seek instruction, and in order to make the transducer perform both a seeking operation and a following operation, a second transducer access mechanism is caused to drive the transducer at a high speed with a small stroke in accordance with the positional information and the seek instruction.
A rotary-disk transducer position control apparatus for positioning a transducer at a position confronting a desired recording track of a plurality of recording tracks on a rotary disk to enable information to be written on or read from the desired recording track, the rotary-disk transducer position control apparatus comprising:
