Abstract

Microactuator, head gimbal assembly using the microactuator,method for manufacturing the head gimbal assembly, and hard disk drive are provided in the invention. The microactuator is provided with a base part bonded to a flexure, a pair of arm parts bonded to the base part, and PZT elements attached to each arm of the arm parts to be elongated / contracted based on an applied driving signal, and adapted to hold the side face of a magnetic head slider. The lengths of the arms are equal to or shorter than the longitudinal length of at least the magnetic head slider. The microactuator according to the invention is capable of achieving a structural strength while maintaining highly accurate positioning control with respect to a high recording density magnetic disk, and reducing manufacturing costs by using a conventional manufacturing process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a micro-actuator, in particular to a micro-actuator capable of micro-positioning a magnetic head. In addition, it also relates to a magnetic head gimbal assembly using the micro-actuator, a manufacturing method thereof, and a hard disk drive. Background technique [0002] As an information storage device, a hard disk drive is equipped with a magnetic head gimbal assembly, and a magnetic head slider for recording and reproducing a magnetic disk as a storage medium is mounted on the magnetic head gimbal assembly. Such as Figure 7 As shown, the figure shows a HGA 100 in the prior art. [0003] The head gimbal assembly 100 includes: a magnetic head slider 101, an elastic flexure 102 on which the magnetic head slider 101 is installed on the front end, formed on the flexure 102 and carrying out the movement of the magnetic head slider 101 An FPC 103 (Flexible Printed Circuit) for signal transmission, and a load bar 104 supporting ...
