A servo system for a hard disk drive comprising a first actuator, a second
actuator, a head, and a disk on which is formed a plurality of tracks
containing servo data. The servo system comprises a first stimulus, a
second stimulus, and a calibration system. The first stimulus causes the
first actuator to move the head to at least two calibration tracks on the
disk. The second stimulus causes the second actuator to move the head
relative to the at least two calibration tracks. The calibration system
generates a calibration factor based on the second calibration signal and
the movement of the second actuator relative to each of the at least two
calibration tracks.
