This paper employs the coupled air bearing model and head stock assembly (HSA) modal order reduction (MOR) model to investigate the track-seeking process of a femto slider. Simulations indicate that the flying height may increase or decrease significantly, depending on the track-seeking directions. The most serious vibration is the off-track vibration, and it is highly related to the sweeping acceleration profile. A smooth acceleration profile is crucial to reduce all the vibrations of slider, especially the off-track vibration.
