20080253028 | SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR VIBRATION DAMPING OF INTEGRATED LEAD SUSPENSIONS IN HIGH DENSITY MAGNETIC STORAGE DEVICES - An integrated lead suspension (ILS) has a constrained layer damper (CLD) that attenuates vibration of the ILS. The CLD may be applied over an already assembled ILS such that the CLD is applied to the cover layer, to the base layer, or to both. Alternatively, the ILS may be encapsulated via a deposition process such that a damping layer is sandwiched between the conductor layer and the cover layer of the ILS, between the conductor layer and the dielectric layer of the ILS, or both. | 10-16-2008 |
20080278856 | Fixing apparatus for hard disk drive - An exemplary fixing apparatus is for mounting a hard disk drive having a plurality of holes in sidewalls thereof. The fixing apparatus includes a first fixing plate, a bracket, and a transverse bar. The bracket includes a second fixing plate, and a bezel assembly attached to a first end of the second fixing plate. Each of the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate include a plurality of fixing members formed at inside walls thereof to engage in the holes of the disk drive. The first fixing plate is pivotally attached to a free end of the bezel assembly. One end of the transverse bar is pivotally attached to a second end of the second fixing plate opposite to the first end and the other end of the transverse bar detachably engages with the first fixing plate. | 11-13-2008 |
20090207528 | DISC FLUTTER COMPENSATING SUSPENSION - A suspension is provided, which has proximal and distal ends and a longitudinal axis extending from the proximal end toward the distal end. A rotating hinge rotates the distal end about the longitudinal axis in response to vertical motion of the distal end relative to the proximal end. In one example, the suspension includes a preformed twist deformation, which rotates the distal end about the longitudinal axis relative to the proximal end axis in a direction opposite to rotation by the rotating hinge, in response to the vertical motion. | 08-20-2009 |
20110279928 | SUSPENSION SUBSTRATE, SUSPENSION, HEAD SUSPENSION, HARD DISK DRIVE, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SUSPENSION SUBSTRATE - A suspension substrate according to the present invention includes: an insulating layer; a spring material layer provided on one face of the insulating layer and having conductivity; and a plurality of wirings provided on the other face of the insulating layer. One wiring includes a head-side wiring part extending from the head portion, and a plurality of division wiring parts respectively bifurcated from the head-side wiring part. The spring material layer includes a spring material main body, and a wiring spring material part separated from the spring material main body, via a groove. A conductive connecting part extending through the insulating layer is provided in the insulating layer. Each of the division wiring parts of the one wiring is connected with the wiring spring material part, via the conductive connecting part. | 11-17-2011 |
20120176704 | LOAD BEAM, SUSPENSION WITH LOAD BEAM, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SUSPENSION - A suspension for supporting a magnetic head is provided with a load beam formed of a thin-plate spring. A recess for accommodating a damper is formed in the load beam. The damper is affixed to a bottom surface of the recess. | 07-12-2012 |
20150332715 | TERMINAL PAD OF A FLEXURE FOR A HEAD SUSPENSION HAVING A PADDING PLATING AND METHOD OF FORMING THE TERMINAL PAD - A terminal pad of a flexure for a head suspension connected to a functional part through a bonding material includes a terminal body, a base plating formed on a surface of the terminal body and having an uniform thickness, a padding plating made of a same material as the base plating and integrated with the base plating so that the padding plating swells with respect to the base plating, and a surface plating formed on a surface of the padding plating. | 11-19-2015 |
