Shear Mode Multilayered Collocated Micro-Actuator For Dual-Stage Servo Controllers In Disk Drives

View page
US Patent:
6704158, Mar 9, 2004
Filed:
Jun 5, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/875413
Inventors:
Muhammad A. Hawwa - Fremont CA
Edmund B. Fanslau - San Jose CA
Kenneth F. Young - San Jose CA
Assignee:
Western Digital (Fremont), Inc. - Lake Forest CA
International Classification:
G11B 2102
US Classification:
360 7716
Abstract:
A head gimbal assembly for a disk drive. The head gimbal assembly includes a load beam defining a longitudinal axis. The head gimbal assembly further includes a flexure with a portion of said flexure being attached to said load beam. The head gimbal assembly further includes a slider including a read/write head. The head gimbal assembly further includes a collocated microactuator which connects between said flexure and said slider for providing pure or nearly pure lateral movement to said slider in a plane of motion that includes the longitudinal axis. The collocated microactuator is a shear mode piezoelectric motor and disposed between the slider and the load beam along an axis disposed orthogonal to the longitudinal axis.

Technique For Reducing Pole Tip Protrusion In A Magnetic Write Head And Gmr Stripe Temperature In An Associated Read Head Structure Utilizing One Or More Internal Diffuser Regions

View page
US Patent:
6894871, May 17, 2005
Filed:
Aug 7, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/214044
Inventors:
Arshad Alfoqaha - San Jose CA, US
Edmund Fanslau - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Western Digital (Fremont), Inc. - Fremont CA
International Classification:
G11B005/147
US Classification:
360126
Abstract:
A technique for reducing pole tip protrusion (“PTP”) in a magnetic write head and giant magnetoresistive (“GMR”) stripe temperature in an associated read head structure utilizing one or more internal diffuser regions. In a representative embodiment disclosed, this may be effectuated through the appropriate placement of a relatively highly conductive material diffuser region (e. g. gold (Au) or copper (Cu)) above the poles, between the first pole and the coil and/or through the first pole, second and first shields and undercoat layer to the substrate in order to conduct heat away from the write head poles, insulating layers (e. g. photoresist) and shields.

Gimbal Assembly With A Gold Tongue/Dimple Interface And Methods Of Making The Same

View page
US Patent:
20130265674, Oct 10, 2013
Filed:
Apr 4, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/439466
Inventors:
Edmund B. FANSLAU - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
NHK SPRING CO., LTD - Yokohama
International Classification:
G11B 5/48
C23C 28/00
US Classification:
3602453, 205183, G9B 5153
Abstract:
A gimbal assembly of a single or dual stage actuator is provided with gold at a tongue/dimple interface where a dimple of a supporting loadbeam contacts a tongue on the gimbal assembly. Using gold at the tongue/dimple interface greatly reduces the amount of wear particles formed during assembly and operation of the microactuator. The tongue may include a gold coating on the tongue at the tongue/dimple interface, or the tongue may have a hole etched in a stainless steel layer at the tongue/dimple interface to expose a gold layer disposed below the stainless steel layer. The tongue portion of the tongue/dimple interface may also be formed from a gold-coated copper pad with a polymer coating over the gold.

Magnetic Head Gimbal With Spring Loaded Tangs

View page
US Patent:
59431903, Aug 24, 1999
Filed:
Mar 25, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/823117
Inventors:
Edmund B. Fanslau - San Jose CA
Assignee:
Read-Rite Corporation - Milpitas CA
International Classification:
G11B 548
US Classification:
360104
Abstract:
A magnetic head suspension, includes a load beam and a gimbal that supports an air bearing slider, and which provides an electrical connection thereto. The gimbal includes a cantilevered tongue and resiliently deformable tangs that extend laterally from the tongue, within a clearance delineated in part by the tongue. When the tangs are in an unbiased state, they project below the geometric plane of the tongue for contacting the slider and for establishing electrical contact therewith. The tangs can deflect independently during bonding to the slider for maintaining independent spring force against the slider. In one embodiment, the electrical conductive path is connected to ground potential for discharging static electricity generated between the slider and a rotating magnetic disk.

Collocated Rotating Flexure Microactuator For Dual-Stage Servo In Disk Drives

View page
US Patent:
6376964, Apr 23, 2002
Filed:
May 16, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/860158
Inventors:
Kenneth F. Young - San Jose CA
Edmund B. Fanslau - San Jose CA
Muhammad A. Hawwa - Fremont CA
Assignee:
Read-Rite Corporation - Fremont CA
International Classification:
G11B 556
US Classification:
310311, 31032301, 3102445
Abstract:
A head gimbal assembly ( ) for a disk drive ( ), having a flexure ( ) with a stationary portion ( ) and at least one movable portion ( ), a portion of the flexure ( ) being attached to a load beam ( ). A slider ( ) containing a read/write head ( ) is attached to one of the movable portions ( ) of the flexure ( ). The load beam ( ) provides a center of rotation ( ) for the slider ( ) and one or more microactuators ( ) connect between the stationary portion ( ) of the flexure ( ) and one of the movable portions ( ) for applying a moment which causes pure or nearly pure rotation of the slider ( ) about the center of rotation ( ). A disk drive ( ) and an actuator arm ( ) including the head gimbal assembly ( ) are also disclosed.

Head Gimbal Assembly With Diamond-Like Coating (Dlc) At Tongue/Dimple Interface To Reduce Friction And Fretting Wear

View page
US Patent:
20140268427, Sep 18, 2014
Filed:
Feb 20, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/185464
Inventors:
- Yokohama, JP
Ross CUYLER - Santa Cruz CA, US
Edmund FANSLAU - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
NHK SPRING CO., LTD - Yokohama
International Classification:
G11B 5/48
US Classification:
3602454, 2960301
Abstract:
A gimbal assembly of a single or dual stage actuator is provided with a layer of Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) as a middle layer at a tongue/dimple interface where a dimple of a supporting loadbeam contacts a tongue on the gimbal assembly. Using the DLC at the tongue/dimple interface greatly reduces the amount of fretting wear particles formed during operation of the microactuator. The reduced wear at the dimple/gimbal interface may provide more stable dynamics over time. The DLC middle layer may be applied on the tongue, or on the tongue only at the tongue/dimple interface, or the DLC may be applied to the dimple.
