摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a magnetic disk device that can reduce an external force applied to the carriage. According to one embodiment, in a magnetic disk device, a bracket inserted between a carriage and a base is supported toward the base side by support portions owned by the bracket and by a band with a space provided between the bracket and the opposed side of the carriage (such as a top surface of the mounting stand). This configuration cannot apply an external force in the rotation direction to the carriage from the bracket even when the bracket is thermally expanded due to heat generated from a head amplifier or the like mounted on a flexible substrate.

A removable data-storage device. The removable data-storage device includes a main data-storage unit, an exterior housing for containing the main data-storage unit, an elastic shock-reduction part between an inner wall of the exterior housing and the main data-storage unit for reducing a mechanical shock to the main data-storage unit by elasticity and an external connector exposed from an opening of the exterior housing. The main data-storage unit is placed at the rear of the external connector as viewed from the opening. The external connector is joined and secured to the main data-storage unit and the exterior housing. In addition, the elastic shock-reduction part is configured to deform with a movement of the main data-storage unit in the exterior housing produced by a mechanical shock and a movable range of the external connector is smaller than a movable range of the main data-storage unit.

A carriage for a magnetic disk apparatus includes a slider on which a magnetic head for reading/writing information from/to a disk is mounted, a suspension for carrying the slider and for applying a predetermined load to the slider, and a carriage arm to which the suspension is attached. The carriage arm includes a suspension fixing portion, first and second arms arranged substantially in parallel with a disk surface, and a restricting member having a surface opposite to the first and second arms. The restricting member and the first arm, and the restricting member and the second arm are coupled via a viscoelastic body.

A carriage includes a slider on which a magnetic head for reading/writing information from/to a disk is mounted, a suspension for carrying the slider and for applying a predetermined load to the slider, a carriage arm to which the suspension is attached, and a body section to which the carriage arm is connected. The carriage arm includes a suspension fixing portion, as arm arranged substantially in parallel with a disk surface, and a restricting member which is a thin-plate-like member having a surface which is opposite to the plane of arm which is parallel to the disk surface. The restricting member and the arm are coupled via a viscoelastic body.

According to the invention, there is provided a carriage arm assembly including a carriage arm having two arm members. The arm member is constructed in such a way that the width of its coil side end and the width of its suspension side end are narrower than that of its intermediate area. This construction widens a servo band width, improves positioning accuracy, and reduces positioning errors of a magnetic disk apparatus, so that recording density is improved and storage capacity is increased. Further, by coupling two arm members using a restriction member via a visco-elastic member, it is possible to achieve a high damping effect on various vibration modes including in-plane bending of the arms, and suppress vibration of the carriage so as to reduce the positioning errors.

A carriage arm assembly for swingably supporting a magnetic head which includes a slider, a suspension carrying the slider, a carriage arm to which the suspension is attached, and a body section. The carriage arm extends from the body section and includes first and second arm members extending substantially in parallel with a swinging plane of the carriage arm, and a fixing portion provided at a distal end of the carriage arm for mounting the suspension thereon. Each of the first and second arm members have narrow sections in a distal end area and a base end area thereof, wherein a width of the narrow sections in a swinging direction is smaller than a width of an intermediate area of the first and second arm members.
