GEDAEMPFTE MAGNETKOPFTRAEGERANORDNUNG

摘要

Arm 200 carrying a magnetic head 202 for cooperation with a magnetic disc is swingable about hinge zones 222 and electrical connections to head 202 are by conductors 206 embedded in a flexible strip 208 adhesively bonded to the suspension arm 200. This gives a reduction in height and damps the vibration of the arm. Twisted conductors may be used (Fig. 2). Arm 200 may be a laminate of multiple stiffening layers to control pitch, roll and yaw. The flexible circuit may be looped (220) (Fig. 4) to minimise its effects on the gram load, or a hole provided therein. Adhesive and flexible strip materials are specified. <IMAGE>
