Disk apparatus

摘要

A disk drive comprises a cartridge holding mechanism which has a small size and reduces a damper load. The disk drive comprises: a spindle motor 91 which mounts and rotates a disk; a traverse base 82 which holds the spindle motor 91; a rubber damper 71 which flexibly holds the traverse base 82; a mechanical chassis 60 which holds the traverse base 82 through the rubber damper 71; a tray 20 which mounts a cartridge 1 in which a disk is housed; and a loading motor 61 which moves the disk in the cartridge 1 close to the spindle motor 91 or away from the spindle motor 91. The cartridge 1 is supported by the mechanical chassis 60 through the tray 20.
