COMPLIANT ANCHOR FOR SECURING DISK DRIVE ACTUATOR BEARING

摘要

In a magnetic disk drive, a compliant member (26) connects the top of the bearing assembly (21) for the actuator arm (20) to the drive. The member is compliant in the vertical direction and stiff in the horizontal direction to resist actuating forces being applied to the bearing assembly (21) when the actuator rotates the arm (20). The actuator arm (20) has a fork (34, 36) with a shelf (38, 40) on which the coil (24) is mounted.
