Means and method for clamping a disk pack

摘要

An improved clamping system for imposing axial pressure upon a stack of magnetic disks of the type used for retaining digitally coded information. A clamping ring at either end of a stack of disks is provided with an angled face. A bracket or other member which is used to transmit compressive force to the stack is provided with a peripheral land which bears upon the angled face such that force is transmitted to the disk pack across an interface disposed at an angle to the axis of the stack.
