Abstract
A method including obtaining a target actuation efficiency slope that is a linear function of temperature when a fixed active clearance is maintained between a transducing head and an adjacent storage surface in a sealed storage device. The target efficiency slope is obtained at least in part by a temperature dependence calibration of actuation efficiency. An operating temperature of the storage device is measure. Power to a clearance adjustment mechanism is adjusted to achieve the target actuation efficiency slope at the measured operating temperature.
