Abstract: A positioning control device and method in which the relative position error in tracking is reduced by using the periodicity of position shift. The positioning control device comprises a position detecting unit for measuring the relative position error between the desired position of an objective member and a moving member, an adding unit for adding a position error signal output from the position detecting unit and a delay signal, a signal delay unit for outputting the delay signal which is obtained by delaying an output of the adding unit at a period corresponding to the position shift of the objective member, a drive unit for moving a moving member, and an inputting unit for inputting the signal of the sum of the position error signal and the delay signal to the drive unit and addition-inputting the delay signal to the drive unit through a filter having a predetermined frequency characteristic in a specific frequency range.
