    摘要: The invention is a hard-disk-drive (HDD) assembly that includes a flame having the exterior dimensions of a particular form-factor HDD, an HDD with a form-factor smaller than the frame, a pair of mount assemblies that support the HDD entirely within the larger form-factor frame, and an electrical cable located entirely within the frame and having one end connected to the HDD and the other end exposed to the frame exterior at the position determined by the specifications of the larger form-factor. The HDD assembly thus presents a smaller form-factor HDD as a fully plug-compatible alternative to a larger form-factor HDD. The mount assemblies have spring-like cantilever arms in contact with damping material to provide a highly-damped nonlinear spring system that provides mechanical-shock resistance for the HDD in a direction normal to the planes of the disks and high stiffness in a direction parallel to the planes of the disks.

    摘要: A mechanical-shock-mount assembly enables attachment of a mechanical-shock-sensitive electronic device to a support structure. Two identical shock-mount structures are attached and located on opposite sides of an electronic device. Each shock-mount structure has a pair of generally planar spring-like cantilever beams that have their free ends for attachment to the support structure. Damping material is located on the surfaces of the cantilever beams between the beams and clamping surfaces. At least one clamping surface is a plate that compresses the damping material between itself and the beam and/or compresses the damping material between the beam and a surface of the support structure when it is attached to the support structure. This shock-mount structure acts as a highly-damped nonlinear spring system that provides mechanical-shock resistance for the device in a direction perpendicular to the cantilevered beams and high stiffness in a direction in the plane of the beams. If desired, the shock-mounts can be first assembled to the support structure before attaching the device. The support structure can optionally have additional features for attaching other components of the device host.

    摘要: A method of making a solder connection between a slider pad and a suspension pad is provided by forming a solder bump on the solder pad at the slider level, affixing the slider to the suspension so that solder can be reflowed between the slider pad and the suspension pad and then employing a laser beam to reflow at least the solder bump to form a solder connection between the slider pad and the suspension pad. Various embodiments of the method are employed for forming the solder connection. Geometric features are also optionally incorporated in the suspension pad region of the integrated suspension that can be employed to bias the suspension pads against the solder bumps in the pre-reflow state.

    摘要: A spindle motor for implementation in a low profile hard disk drive is described; that spindle motor having a novel configuration for the torque generating portion. The spindle motor includes a hub coupled with a disk platter; that has a rotational axis about a suitable bearing system. A stator portion of material for conducting magnetic flux from the rotor poles, and having twelve stems and a plurality of windings, is configured to be disposed beneath the disk platter and coupled to the drive base. A rotor portion coupled with the hub having back iron ring with a permanent sixteen pole magnet radially polarized is closely radially disposed to the stator. The number of poles of the rotor portion has a defined proportion relative to the number of stems of the stator portion. The windings provide conductivity for creating an electromagnetic force applicable at the torque radius for rotation of the hub.
