US Patent:
7207097, Apr 24, 2007
Filed:
Jan 29, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/767944
Inventors:
Michael E. Detjens - Altoona WI, US
Craig A. Leabch - Saint Cloud MN, US
Shane J. Van Sloun - Waconia MN, US
Assignee:
Hutchinson Technology Incorporated - Hutchinson MN
International Classification:
G11B 5/127
H04R 31/00
US Classification:
2960306, 2960303, 296031, 2960312, 2960316, 29831, 3602345, 3602358, 3602445, 216 22, 438 3
Abstract:
An actuator assembly for supporting a read/write device in an information storage device having an actuator arm having at least one tower protruding from a first surface of the actuator arm, a loadbeam having at least one tower receiving means for receiving the at least one tower, wherein the at least one tower is shaped to extend into the at least one tower receiving means when the loadbeam is joined with the actuator arm, and wherein the tower and tower receiving means are configured such that deforming the at least one tower when within the at least one tower receiving means provides a deformation interference between the at least one tower and the at least one tower receiving means that reduces movement of the tower receiving means relative to the tower.
