ONE-PIECE MAGNET RETURN PATH ASSEMBLY FOR A DISK DRIVE ACTUATOR

摘要

A one-piece magnet return path assembly (50) for a disk drive actuator comprises an upper plate (54), a lower plate (52) and a plurality of standoffs (56, 58, 60) extending between the upper and lower plates (54, 52) and establishing a predetermined spacing between the plates (54, 52). The upper and lower plates (54, 52) and the plurality of standoffs (56, 58, 60) are stamped from a single sheet of magnetically permeable material that is then bent at predetermined locations to form the completed one-piece magnet return path assembly (50).
