摘要:
The conventional ramp mechanism constituting a load/unload mechanism for a magnetic disk is disadvantageous for increasing a storage capacity since an outer peripheral edge of the disk is not used as a data area. In one embodiment of the invention, a disk drive has a solenoid and spring for turning a ramp mechanism about a rotating shaft. When the drive operates, since the ramp mechanism moves out from the magnetic disk by the tensile force of the solenoid, the outer peripheral edge of a magnetic head that has formerly been unusable can be used as a data read/write region, without the magnetic head interfering with the fins of the ramp mechanism. During a non-operating state of the drive and in case of a power interruption, the tensile force of the spring returns the ramp mechanism to a position at which the magnetic head can be unloaded. This construction allows the storage capacity of the drive to be easily increased without sacrificing the shock resistance of the ramp mechanism.

A magnetic disk drive has a problem in that when a shock in excess of a force used to fasten a spindle shaft to a cover is applied, the spindle shaft becomes inclined. Embodiments of the invention overcome this problem. In one embodiment, a cover is formed with a recessed portion at a location opposite to a spindle shaft. The recessed portion is formed with a projection having an end to be in contact with an inclined portion of a tapped hole of the spindle shaft. Thus, a “plug-like” structure is formed. Preferably, a gap between the cover and the spindle shaft is not present. With this structure, even if the shock is applied from outside, the projection of the cover acts as a stopper to suppress a displacement between the spindle shaft and the cover, thus preventing inclination of the spindle shaft.

Disclosed is a file memory unit having a casing for accommodating a head positioning mechanism and a magnetic recording disk virtually in sealed manner, and a frame for supporting the casing resiliently. The unit has the provision of a shock absorbing facility for absorbing the vibration created by the head positioning mechanism and the vibration and impact applied from the outside. The shock absorbing facility has a unitary structure having a first spring constant for absorbing relatively small vibration created by the casing, a second spring constant for absorbing the vibration applied from the outside, and a third spring constant for absorbing the impact applied from the outside.
