Improve non-repetitive runout (NRRO) associated with the system's structural dynamics and operating vibrations. [Solution] A data storage device such as a hard disk drive (HDD) includes a rotary pivot bearing assembly of a rotary actuator configured with a bearing span smaller than the maximum available bearing span, thereby reducing the rotary pivot tilt (PT) gain of the corresponding acoustic transfer function relative to the rotational pivot tilt (PT) gain of the original acoustic transfer function corresponding to the maximum available bearing span.
