Appl. No.:

8/115071

International Classification:

G11B 554
G11B 1702

US Classification:

360105

Abstract:

Disclosed is a disk drive information storage device which, in one embodiment, includes a disk having a diameter in the range of about 45 to 50 min. , with a housing and a spin motor. In another embodiment, the disk drive information storage device includes a disk, a housing having a first external dimension of about 51 mm. , and a spin motor. The spin motor includes a rotor and a stator, with either the rotor or the stator having a plurality of winding structures associated therewith, and the other having a plurality of magnetic poles. Each winding structure is made up of two winding portions, with only one winding portion being used to drive the rotor relative to the stator upon drive currents being applied to the winding structure, but with both winding portions being used to generate back electromotive force when drive current is cut off from the winding structure. This generated electromotive force is used to actuate an actuator drive motor to unload the read/write heads from the disk surface. As an alternative, each winding is made of a single winding, and the winding structures are used successively to drive the motor relative to the stator, but with at least two winding portions generating back electromotive force when drive current is cut off.

International Classification:

G11B 554

US Classification:

360105

Abstract:

Disclosed is a disk drive information storage device having a housing and a disk means for recording and reproducing information. The disk drive information storage device utilizes an actuator comprising a body portion supported by the housing for rotation about an axis, and a load beam connected to the body portion for rotation of a first end of the load beam in a plane substantially parallel to a surface of the disk means. The load beam includes an elongated lift tab having a free end which extends beyond the first end of the load beam, with the lift tab extending along an axis which is skewed from the centerline of the load beam. A slider body including a transducer for recording and reproducing information from the disk is supported by the load beam at a position intermediate the first end of the load beam and the axis of rotation of the body portion. A cam assembly is provided on the housing adjacent to the edge of the disk means, the cam assembly including a cam surface positioned in operative relationship with the lift tab. In one embodiment, the housing has a first external dimension of about 51 mm.

International Classification:

G11B 5012

US Classification:

360 9702

Abstract:

Disclosed is a rigid disk drive information storage device which includes a rigid disk having a diameter in the range of about 45-50 mm. , with a housing having a footprint that includes a width of about 51 mm. and utilizing a rotary actuator for positioning read/write recording elements across the surface of the disk. The disk storage devices further includes a footprint with a length of about 70 mm. , includes dynamic loading apparatus for loading the read/write recording elements into operative relationship with the disk and further includes an inertial latch for preventing rotation of the actuator when the drive is subjected to a rotational force.
