A system and method for an improved magnetic head arm assembly (HAA) is disclosed. The HAA includes three principal components, a head gimbal assembly (HGA), a flexible printed circuit (FPC) assembly, and an actuator coil assembly. The design allows for HAA rigidity, yet each of the components is designable and manufacturable independent of one another, in addition to other advantages over current methods.

A gimbal design for a hard disk drive are disclosed. In one embodiment, a gimbal tongue is supported by a gimbal cross bar coupled to a suspension body by a pair of gimbal struts. A pair of grounding pads are mounted on either side of the leading edge of the gimbal tongue. A first limiter tab is coupled to the leading edge of the gimbal tongue and a second limiter tab is coupled to the trailing edge of the gimbal tongue. Notches on either side of the trailing edge limiter tab increase the strength of the tab. One or more cutouts allow the slider to be electrically coupled to bonding pads on the opposite side of the gimbal tongue. Angled slots at the juncture of the gimbal cross bar and the gimbal tongue relieve stress on the gimbal.

A head actuator mechanism and a method of manufacture for that mechanism are disclosed. The head actuator mechanism includes a head gimbal assembly coupled to the top support face of a bearing assembly and an actuator driving mechanism coupled to the opposite support face. The head gimbal assembly includes an actuator arm and a load beam, the actuator arm being mounted to the top support face. The actuator driving assembly includes a driving coil and a coil holder frame. The driving coil is positioned in a magnetic field created by a magnetic block and yoke.

The present invention provides a baseplate comprising a cylindrical hub, a flat flange, and one or two circular notches of a “V” or “U” shape etc. formed in said flange. This baseplate has the advantages of smaller deformation and larger retention torque during swage operation. Also it is easy to make and has no further cost in production. Moreover, the present invention further provides an arm and suspension assembly equipped with the baseplate and a hard disk drive equipped with the arm and suspension assembly.

A method and apparatus for electrically coupling a slider to a controller circuit are disclosed. In one embodiment, a pre-amplifier with an integrated electrical connector (I-connector) may be connected via an electrical trace to a slider and via a head stack assembly flexible circuit to a control circuit. The pre-amplifier may have two parallel series of spring probe claws, two parallel series of contact pegs, two slots, or a slot and a rotary cam.

A method for mounting a head stack assembly (HSA) circuit assembly is disclosed. A flexible circuit substrate may be coupled to a stiffener. The stiffener may be a metal, such as aluminum, or some other stiff and durable material. The flexible circuit substrate may be made of an organic material and may have a series of electronic leads embedded in the flexible circuit substrate. The flexible substrate may be coupled to the stiffener by an adhesive or laminated onto the stiffener. The stiffener may be mounted onto the actuator arm by soldering or by laser welding.
