Apparatus and method for adjusting balance and assembling disk drives

摘要

An apparatus and method for adjusting balance in a disk drive, and a method for assembling a disk drive, enables the modification of dynamic balance reliably and efficiently. The apparatus adjusts balance in a hard disk drive having disks and a spindle which are assembled in a base. The acceleration to be applied from an actuator is made to act on the top end of the spindle through a holder plate in one accelerator, while the acceleration to be applied from an actuator is made to act on the base end of the spindle through the base in another accelerator.
