Structure in a disk drive system for attaching a load beam to a head actuator carriage including a mountplate having side ends surrounding a swage hole

摘要

In attaching a load beam to a carriage, the swage attachment is used between the carriage and a mountplate, while the load beam is attached to the mountplate by welding and other binding means, to create a structure in which the load beam does not come into direct contact with the swage part, so that a structure is obtained in which the load beam is hardly subject to deformation or other direct influences from the swage operation. In addition, by forming the attaching plate side of the load beam to envelope a carriage, or by extending both sides of the load beam from the central portion in the longitudinal direction toward the carriage, a structure improved in the stability of load beam attachment is obtained.
