Magnetic circuit structure for a rotary actuator in a disk drive

摘要

A magnetic circuit structure in a disk unit which can be manufactured at low costs. The magnetic circuit includes a main yoke manufactured by stacking a plurality of rolled steel plates and connecting them together by caulking. The magnetic circuit further includes an inner magnet, an outer magnet, and a side yoke all of which are mounted on the main yoke. Both ends of the inner magnet abut against a pair of shoulders formed on the main yoke, and both ends of the outer magnet abut against a pair of shoulders formed on the main yoke. Vertical movement of the inner magnet is prevented by a pair of presser plates and fixed to the main yoke, and vertical movement of the outer magnet is also prevented by a pair of presser plates and fixed to the main yoke.
