Disc drive clamp having centering features

摘要

A disc clamp having centering features, and a method for centering a disc clamp on a spindle hub within a disc drive utilizes a disc clamp having a series of alignment tabs extending into an inner edge for centering the disc clamp on a motor spindle hub. Each alignment tab has an engagement face that defines a curved or chamfered surface, where the curved surface reduces disc clamp/motor spindle hub interaction when the disc clamp is installed on the spindle hub.
