Abstract
According to one embodiment, a magnetic disc apparatus includes a magnetic head which reads information stored in a magnetic disc, an arm which supports the magnetic head, and a feedback controller which controls a coarse actuator to move the magnetic head above the magnetic disc by driving the arm, a fine actuator to hold a position of the magnetic head, and a feedback path which feeds back a displacement of the actuator to a target value of the coarse actuator. The feedback controller controls decoupling of a double actuator system which adds up the coarse actuator and the fine actuator.
