Magnetic head assembly with spring arms held on one side of head arm

摘要

A magnetic head assembly in a magnetic disk apparatus comprising a plurality of coaxially arranged magnetic disks; the magnetic head assembly being inserted in a gap between the adjacent magnetic disks so that one magnetic head has access to the lower surface of the upper magnetic disk and the other magnetic head has access to the upper surface of the lower magnetic disk. Head arms extend from an actuator spindle and two spring arms support each of the head arms for elastically carrying the magnetic heads. A holder holds two spring arms together between the head arm and the holder and has cylindrical engaging portion extending through apertures of the spring arms and is received in a hole of the head arm; the cylindrical engaging portion being permanently deformed so as to bite into the head arm and fix the holder to the head arm.
