    Abstract: A transducer-level microactuator selectively positions a transducer portion of a slider radially with respect to circumferential data tracks of a rotatable disc. The slider includes a slider body having a leading edge and a trailing edge, a transducer body and a flexure body. The transducer body is spaced from the trailing edge of the sliding body and includes at least one transducer element. The flexure body extends from the trailing edge of the slider body and includes a first anchor point connected to the slider body and a second anchor point connected to the transducer body. The basecoat layer is deposited on the trailing edge of the slider body and substantially surrounds the flexure body wherein a gap separates the flexure body from the basecoat. A first actuation assembly is formed on the basecoat and a second actuation assembly is formed on the transducer body adjacent the slider body.

    Abstract: A disc drive slider test system includes a support structure and a slider test socket carried by the support structure that releasably electrically and mechanically receives a slider for testing. The slider test socket includes a body forming a cavity for receiving the slider and a plurality of spring beams outside a plan area of the body connected to a clamp for releasably securing the slider in the cavity. In some exemplary embodiments, a microactuator is employed to position the slider secured by the slider test socket with high resolution with respect to tracks of the disc.

    Abstract: A method of improving the robustness of microcomponents formed of silicon by armor coating the microcomponent with a ductile material, such as a metal. The armored coating may comprise either partial armored coating or total armored coating. Providing the microcomponent with an armored coating reduces chipping and breaking, and likewise reduces contamination problems which arise from chips and breaks.

    Abstract: A slider assembly is operable to selectively alter a position of a transducing head with respect to a track of a rotatable disc having a plurality of concentric tracks. The slider assembly includes a slider wafer arranged to be supported by a disc drive support structure. A stator is bonded to the slider wafer, with the stator including at least one electrode. A rotor is bonded to the stator, with the rotor having a frame portion bonded to the stator and a head-carrying portion attached to the frame portion by a flexible beam structure. The head-carrying portion of the rotor carries the transducing head, supports at least one rotor electrode adjacent to the at least one stator electrode, and is movable with respect to the frame portion of the rotor in response to a voltage difference between the at least one rotor electrode and the at least one stator electrode.

    Abstract: The present invention includes a gimbal having a plurality of forwards struts extending from a central portion of a transducer-carrying apparatus and terminating in a forward suspension attachment portion. A plurality of rear struts also extend from a central portion of the transducer-carrying apparatus and terminate in a rear suspension attachment portion. The width of the gimbal is narrower than the width of the supporting suspension. A method of making the gimbal includes photo-patterning a foil substrate with an insulative material in the shape of struts. Bond pads are plated onto the foil substrate, which serve as the forward and rear attachment portions to the suspension, as well as attachment portions to the transducer-carrying apparatus. Supportive gimbal springs are etched onto the insulative undercoat of the foil substrate.
