    摘要: A technique for preventing damage to ball bearings in a small form factor device where the drive motor has at least one crash stop ring disposed about the shaft and inside the rotor of the motor. The crash stop ring is dimensioned to permit only a small amount of movement of the rotor relative to the shaft. The permitted movement must be less than the minimum movement which would cause damage to the elements of the ball bearing. In an alternative embodiment, a rotor includes a flange extending in the radial direction from the rotor. A piezoelectric ring is rigidly mounted on both sides of the flange to engage one of the planar surfaces of the flange when the piezoelectric ring is in the relaxed state. With two such crash stop rings disposed so that the rings can engage both planar surfaces of the flange, the rotor is effectively clamped between the two piezoelectric crash stop rings whenever the piezoelectric crash stop ting is disconnected from the power source used to contract the piezoelectric material in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotor.

    摘要: In a direct access storage device having a head for interaction with a storage medium and a moving actuator on which the head is mounted, the improvement comprises a compound bearing system for the actuator, the bearing system including a first bearing of low friction for small movements of the actuator; and a second bearing of higher friction for coarse movements of the actuator. The storage medium is preferably a rotating magnetic disk having a series of concentric circular tracks. A single servo system drives the actuator so that the head follows a selected track with motion of the first bearing, and movement of the head to a new track causes motion of the second bearing. Preferably the first bearing is a flex bearing and the second bearing is a ball bearing.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an inertial latch mechanism of an actuator of a thin disk drive device. An inertial latch mechanism comprises a latch lever rotatable on a pivot from a release position to a latch position, and an inertial lever which is rotatable on a pivot and has a moment of inertia larger than that of the latch lever. The inertial lever rotates counterclockwise when a counterclockwise shock is given to the actuator, and pulls the latch lever at a first latch part by a first latch projection to move the latch lever to the latch position. The inertial lever also rotates clockwise when a clockwise shock is given to the actuator, and pushes the latch lever at a second latch part by a second latch projection to latch the actuator which has bumped against a crash stop and is reversely rotating.

    摘要: When an HDD is subjected to shock with a magnetic head (22) retracted to the parking zone, a suspension (34) having a magnetic head (36) at the free end thereof swings. When a lowest suspension (34) swings, the free end of the suspension (34) is brought into contact with a pin projection (50) and further displacement toward the base (12) is impeded. The suspension (34) that further swings in this condition presents not a swing in a primary mode (cantilever support mode) but a swing in a secondary mode (two-point support mode), and the maximum displacement of the suspension (34) occurs at the longitudinal intermediate portion of the suspension (34). The intermediate portion that is displaced is made to go into a groove (48), and the contact of the intermediate portion of the suspension (34) with the base (12) is impeded by the groove (48).

    摘要: A rotary actuator head driver for a direct access storage device includes a transducer head moving in a radial direction across a disk surface for reading and/or writing data on a plurality of tracks for storing data. A support arm supports the transducer head relative to the disk surface. The support arm is connected to a pivot defining an axis of rotation spaced from the transducer head. A head driver positions the transducer head over one track in a track following mode or moves the transducer head from one track to another track in a seek mode. The head driver generates oppositely directed forces to produce a net torque applied to the support arm through the pivot. The oppositely directed forces have a line of action orthogonal a dominant motion of the transducer head. As a result, any parasitic force is orthogonal to the dominant motion and does not contribute to track misregistration errors. When the oppositely directed forces have an equal magnitude for force cancellation, the effect parasitic forces are eliminated. The head driver includes a pair of miniature voice coil motors or an in-the-hub motor.
