1. An apparatus comprising:
a circuit that determines a bias force error between an estimated bias force and an actual bias force on an actuator during movement by a servo motor, adjusts a servo gain in response to differences between an accumulated bias force error and an accumulated position error between present and desired actuator locations as the circuit repetitively positions the actuator, and regulates movement of the actuator by the servo motor in response to the servo gain.
