Problems solved by technology

It is therefore difficult to obtain sufficient stroke;
[0010] (4) Because the actuator has a three-dimensional complex fixed structure, it is difficult to operate when assembling the HGA, and conventional HGA assembly equipment cannot be used, so the production efficiency is poor
However, forming such a gap further reduces the shock resistance, and it is difficult to accurately keep the gap constant
In particular, since it is difficult to keep the suspension, actuator, and head slider in exact parallel, the head characteristics deteriorate

Abstract

A precise positioning actuator to be fixed with a head slider with at least one head element and with a support, for precisely positioning the at least one head element, includes a pair of movable arms capable of displacing in response to a drive signal applied to the actuator. The head slider is caught in a space between the movable arms.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a precise positioning actuator for a magnetic head element, such as a thin film magnetic head element or an optical disk head element, to a head gimbal assembly (HGA) having such an actuator, to a disk drive having such an HGA and to manufacturing such HGA method. Background technique [0002] In disk drives, thin film head elements for writing magnetic information to and / or reading magnetic information from the disk are typically formed on a head slider that scans over a rotating disk during operation. The sliders are respectively supported on the hangers of the HGA. [0003] In recent years, the recording density and reproducing density (track density) in the radial direction or the track width direction of the magnetic disk have increased rapidly to meet the data storage capacity and density requirements in the magnetic disk drive with increasing holes. For increased track densities, voice coil motors (VCMs) alone ...
