PICKUP FOR ACCESSING MOVING STORAGE MEDIA AND DRIVE HAVING THE PICKUP

摘要

A pickup (P) for accessing moving storage media (D) carrying substantially parallel information tracks (T) has a carrier (C), an actuator (A) with a lens (3) and suspension means (4) joining the carrier (C) and the actuator (A). The actuator (A) is movable in a focus direction (Y) and in a tracking direction (X) and has a substantially rectangular flat board (B). The flat board (B) is arranged orthogonal to the focus direction (Y) and carries the lens (3) at its upper side facing the tracks (T) of the media (D). The flat board (B) carries tracking and focus coils. The pickup (P) has a magnet configuration connected to the carrier (C) with at least two tracking magnets (7), which are arranged in the tracking direction (X) at opposite sides of the flat board (B) and extend orthogonal to the focus direction (Y) above and/or under the flat board (B), and with at least two focus magnets (8), which are arranged in the direction of the tracks (T) at opposite sides of the flat board (B) and extend orthogonal to the direction of the tracks (T). According to the invention, the elastic means are constituted as four elastic elements (4), which are arranged at the lower side of the flat board (B) at each of its four corners (5).
