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： The present invention provides a stacked type actuator arm assembly equipped with a structure for easily fixing lead wires between a coil and a flexible cable. A stacked type actuator arm assembly that is used in a magnetic disk storage is equipped at the coil support portion of a coil support spacer with a small hole through which lead wires and are inserted. Since the spacer is stamped from a flat sheet, a structure for holding the lead wires cannot be freely formed as in a die casting method, but formation of the small hole according to the present invention is easy. During manufacturing, after the lead wires and have been inserted through the small hole, if they are processed in the following fabrication step, there is no possibility that force will be applied to the boundary portion between a coil and the lead wire extending from a wire of the coil which would peel a wire of the coil off. In addition, in the magnetic disk storage being operated, there is no possibility that the lead wires will move and then touch other components.

摘要： When an unexpected shock is applied to the personal computer, a sharp edge of the load beam or a sharp edge of the flexure is contacted or collided to the surface of the magnetic recording disk to damage its surface, so that a desired read/write operation is not performed.The head support mechanism is divided into the three portions, i.e. a rear portion one end of which can be pivotally mounted, a front portion supporting a slider including a read/write head for reading data from the magnetic recording disk or writing data to the magnetic recording disk, and a flexible hinge portion connecting the rear portion and the front portion. In according to the present invention, a protection layer is provided on a surface of the rear portion opposing to the recording disk at a position adjacent to the flexible hinge portion. The protection layer is provided on a surface of the front portion opposing to the recording disk at a position adjacent to the flexible hinge portion. At least one extruded portions are provided on a surface of the rear portion opposing to the recording disk at position adjacent to the flexible hinge portion. The rear portion includes a metal plate opposing to the magnetic recording disk, and the metal plate is mechanically deformed to form the extruded portion, and the extruded portion is coated by an resilient layer made of a material selected from a group consisting of polyimide, rubber, epoxy resin, silicone rubber, polyvinylchloride, polybutadiene and polyetherurethane.
