Zusammenfassung:	A data storage device includes a data storage disk, an arm, a first head, an elevator, and a sleeve. The data storage disk has a first read/write surface defining an x-y plane. The arm is attached to a pivot block, wherein the arm is movable relative to the disk. The first head is supported by the arm, wherein the first head is configured to interact with the first read/write surface. The elevator is configured to move the arm in a z direction, wherein the elevator comprises a stepper motor, a gear train, and a lead screw. The sleeve partially encases the lead screw. In another aspect, a data storage device includes a data storage disk, an arm, a first head, an elevator, and a housing encasing the gear train and attached to the pivot block.
