    摘要: A brake crawler for an elevator-type hard disk drive generally includes a first and second set of clamp arms vertically arranged, each of the first and second sets of clamp arms being capable of exerting a clamping force on a shaft or slider via activation or deactivation of an actuator element associated with each set of clamp arms. The brake crawler further includes an actuator element disposed between the first and second set of clamp arms which allows for movement of the first set of clamp arms away from the second set of clamp arms upon a change in state of the actuator element. Via a specific sequence of activating and deactivating various of the actuator elements associated with the brake crawler, the brake crawler is capable of inch worm-type movement up and down the shaft.

    摘要: An approach to a reduced-head hard disk drive (HDD) involves an elevator platform assembly for moving an actuator assembly, one or more bearing assemblies, and a load/unload ramp along one or more support posts to provide a head slider access to at least two different recording disk media of a disk stack. The HDD may include a piezoelectric actuator locking mechanism integral to one of the bearing assemblies, such that actuation of the actuator either locks or unlocks the locking mechanism relative to a corresponding support post. When unlocked, the elevator platform assembly can be translated along the length of the disk stack via a motor.

    摘要: In order to suppress the occurrence of adhesion between magnetic disks and spacers when the magnetic disks and the spacers are removed from a hard disk drive apparatus in which the magnetic disks and the spacers are installed, a surface roughness Ra of a main surface of a ring-shaped glass spacer to be arranged in contact with a magnetic disk is set to be not larger than 1.0 μm, and an average inclination RΔa of the main surface is set to be at least 0.02.

    摘要: Certain exemplary aspects of the present disclosure are directed towards an apparatus including a base deck, a plurality of storage mediums (e.g., discs) and a plurality of disc separator plates. The base deck includes a sidewall forming a cavity to house the storage medium, with slots in the sidewall in which each disc separator plate extends. The disc separator plates extend into spaces between peripheral ends of adjacent ones of the storage medium. This arrangement can be used to provide rigid coupling of the separator plates, which can mitigate issues relating to vibration or shock. Further, air flow can be mitigated in this regard, such as to reduce effects upon a magnetoresistive transducer that reads data from the storage mediums.

    摘要: Methods for adhering parts together using part gap spacers are provided herein. Part gap spacers are formed in a selected pattern and a selected height on a surface of at least one surface of two parts to be oppositely disposed. When disposed opposite each other, at least some of the part gap spacers contact the opposite surface, and establish a standoff distance that is generally uniform, and thereby creating voids. Adhesive is disposed in at least some of the voids to adhere the part surfaces to each other. Further methods comprise forming part gap spacers on multiple sides of a third part to be disposed intermediate two surfaces. The part gap spacers can be formed in a variety of shapes, including bumps, tapers, ribs, and flange edges.

    摘要: A rotary spindle has a rotatable shaft that defines a shaft axis of rotation, and has a shaft top land that is normal to the shaft axis of rotation. A disk mounting hub has an outer disk mounting surface, and has an inner cylindrical bore with an inner cylindrical surface that faces and is in radial compression with an outer cylindrical surface of the shaft at a cylindrical hub-to-shaft interface. The cylindrical hub-to-shaft interface is substantially concentric about the shaft axis of rotation. A disk clamp is fastened to the rotatable shaft, and the disk clamp has a clamp bottom land that faces and is in contact with the shaft top land.

    摘要: A spindle motor includes an upper bearing portion and a lower bearing portion each of which is inclined with respect to a central axis. The upper bearing portion includes an upper dynamic pressure generating groove defined in at least one of an upper outer circumferential surface of a shaft portion and an upper inner circumferential surface of a sleeve. The lower bearing portion includes a lower dynamic pressure generating groove defined in at least one of a lower outer circumferential surface of the shaft portion and a lower inner circumferential surface of the sleeve. The radial distance between a lower end portion of the upper dynamic pressure generating groove and the central axis is shorter than the radial distance between an upper end portion of the lower dynamic pressure generating groove and the central axis.
