<p>Closer spacing of the disks (1) in a disk stack of a disk drive is achieved by joining together the reinforcing plates (8,8b), sometimes called swage plates, of pairs of load beams (7) of the actuator arm structure (3) to form a head (5) suspension assembly of an integrated pair of load beams (7), each load beam having a distal end (7b) flexibly mounting a head (5). The heads (5) of each integrated load beam pair (7) face in opposite directions. A load beam extension (7c) at the end (7a) opposite the distal end (7b) of each extends beyond the reinforcing plate (8,8b). These load beam extensions (7c)in each suspension assembly are spaced apart by the thickness of the two reinforcing plates (8,8b) and span the thickness of an actuator arm (3) of the actuator arm structure. The load beam extensions (7c) are joined to the opposite faces of the actuator arm (3). The heads (5) fit between and confront the confronting surfaces of adjacent axially spaced disks (1) in the disk stack. Joining of the load beam extensions (7c) to the opposite faces of the actuator arm (3) may be accomplished by bonding agents such as adhesives, swaging, or by welding, the latter where both the actuator arm and the load beams are of materials that may be welded together. <IMAGE></p> |
