SWAGE MOUNT FOR HARD DISK DRIVES

A swage mount (15) is provided for attaching a head suspension assembly to a head actuator arm for a hard disk drive. The swage mount (15) has a flange body (42) with a thickness for providing clearance from the underlying disk. The swage mount (15) may have a tip for in-plane movement. The tip may...

Zusammenfassung:	A swage mount (15) is provided for attaching a head suspension assembly to a head actuator arm for a hard disk drive. The swage mount (15) has a flange body (42) with a thickness for providing clearance from the underlying disk. The swage mount (15) may have a tip for in-plane movement. The tip may be 'T' shaped. The tip (49) has a thickness that is greater than the thickness of the flange body (42) for withstanding out-of-plane loads and for enhancing performance of the hard disk drive, for example, during reading /writing of data using the head. Mass properties of the swage mount (15), the twisting/bending yield load, modal frequency responses, and other performance metrics are analyzed to design the dimensions of the swage mount (15) having favorable in-plane compliance and superior out-of-plane robustness.
