    摘要: A magnetic disk drive which is to be used for recording and/or reproducing information, and a bearing assembly for use in the same magnetic disk drive. The bearing assembly includes two bearings of different diameters, of which a small-diameter bearing is arranged within an inner periphery of a large-diameter bearing. The two bearings are joined by means of bearing coupling members for connecting respectively inner rings and outer rings of the bearings. The small-diameter bearing is arranged within the inner periphery of the large-diameter bearing, and therefore a height of the bearing assembly can be made thinner to about one and a half times a height of a single bearing. It is therefore possible to make the magnetic disk drive smaller and thinner by employing this bearing assembly.

    摘要: A method of recording a servo signal on each track of a magnetic disk includes a first signal for demagnetizing the magnetic disk and a second signal for forming the servo signal. The recording width (core width) of the magnetic head is made greater than the width of the track. Parts for recording signals and not recording signals are set in each track. The first and second signals are selected and recorded in the signal recording part, thereby to form the servo signal. Current to be conducted to the magnetic head is cut in the part for not recording signals, and the track is skipped to the next part for recording signals. When the recording of the track has ended, the magnetic head is moved to the next track, and the above steps are repeated.

    摘要: A magnetic disk device has a large capacity with a small and thin structure and includes a spindle system, an actuator system, a control package for controlling the systems, and a PCMCIA connector. The spindle system is of an in-hub structure wherein two magnetic disks are rotated in inside diameter portions of the magnetic disks. The actuator system has sliders mounting magnetic heads for writing and reading magnetic information to and from the magnetic disks, guide arms and suspension structures. The suspension structures also include a coil, a magnetic circuit for imparting a drive force in cooperation with the coil, a coil holder for supporting the coil, a pivot sleeve for rocking the guide arms, the coil holder and spacers which are integrally laminated to each other, bearings and a pivot shaft. The PCMCIA connector connects to the control package and is fixed by the housing and a package cover.

    摘要: Degradation of a detector-head positioning in an information storage device using a rotary recording medium may be prevented. A reaction force which gives a vibration to a positioning mechanism in a magnetic disk drive generally occurs when the detector heads seek a destination track on a rotary recording medium. This vibration or impact may be decreased or eliminated if an actuator magnet is supported on a linear-slider member or a rotary-slider member. Sliding motion is received with a pneumatic spring to softly result in no vibration being transmitted to the spindle or other positioning mechanism. The pneumatic spring can drastically reduce a proper vibration frequency of the positioning mechanism (magnetic-circuit support) to such an extent that an electrical servo system can catch the vibration frequency and can hold down a location error. Even if a reaction force is too big to prevent resonance from being caused, the pneumatic spring can quickly attenuate the reaction force using its own throttle hole. In case the magnetic disk drive is fixed on an incline or a slant, another spring between a magnetic circuit and a housing can regulate a positional relationship relative to peripheral members including the actuator.
