    摘要: The present invention includes a flexible printed circuit bracket including a crash stop rubber and/or an air block. The air block directs the air flow from the rotating disk surface(s) away from the head gimbal assemblies to minimize positional variance of the read-write heads. The crash stop rubber contacts the crash stop stub on the actuator arm block, stopping actuator assembly swinging away from the disk. The invention includes making an actuator assembly with the invention's flexible printed circuit bracket, as well as making the hard disk drive. The invention includes both the actuator assembly and the hard disk drive as the products of these processes. The invention also includes the actuator assembly and the hard disk drive containing the invention's flexible printed circuit bracket.

    摘要: The present invention includes apparatus and methods for disk dampers with an inlet edge and/or an outlet edge, oriented and shaped to control airflow within the hard disk drive. The inlet edge and the outlet edge reduce the airflow turbulence at the actuator assembly. This improves the Position Error Signal (PES), as the read-write head accesses a rotating disk surface. The outlet edge may preferably be curved and oriented at an oblique angle with respect to the angular rotation of the disk(s) in the hard disk drive. The outlet edge may preferably extend over a section of a sector angle. The inlet edge may preferably be oblique, which helps to slow down the overall velocity of the airflow into the disk damper. This allows the tip of the inlet edge to be positioned closer to the actuator assembly than previously possible.
