Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward a disc driver apparatus including a base, a disc drive actuator assembly, and a vapor-trapping pathway. The base, in certain embodiments, has an upwardly-facing portion with a first step and an adjacent second step that is vertically lower than the first step. The disc drive actuator assembly in some embodiments includes a pivot shaft, an E-block, and a plurality of bearings. The pivot shaft is fixed relative to the base, and the E-block has a portion facing the upwardly-facing portion of the base. The plurality of bearings designed to facilitate rotation of the E-block around the pivot shaft. The vapor-trapping pathway includes the first step and a trap region that is partly defined by the second step, the vapor-trapping pathway being designed to pass vapor flow outwardly, relative to the pivot shaft, from a level below the bearings to the trap region.

Abstract translation: 本公开的各个方面涉及包括基座，盘驱动器致动器组件和蒸气捕获通道的盘驱动器装置。 在某些实施例中，底座具有向上的部分，其具有垂直地低于第一台阶的第一台阶和相邻的第二台阶。 在一些实施例中，盘驱动器致动器组件包括枢轴，E形块和多个轴承。 枢转轴相对于基座固定，并且E形块具有面向基部的向上的部分的部分。 多个轴承被设计成便于E形块围绕枢转轴的旋转。 蒸气捕获途径包括第一步骤和部分地由第二步骤限定的捕集区域，蒸气捕获通道被设计成将蒸汽流相对于枢轴向外从轴承下方的水平传递到捕集器 地区。
