Head locating actuator and disk apparatus incorporating the same

摘要

A disk locating actuator of a disk apparatus has a carrier member (7) carrying a head (11) and a curved flexible printed circuit (4) fixed at its one end to the carrier member (7) and at its other end to a base (1). Angles at which the flexible printed circuit (4) is fixed are suitably determined so as to diminish any dynamic reacting force produced by vibration of the flexible printed circuit (4), thus ensuring high degree of head locating precision. <MATH>
