Abstract: A data storage disk drive is provided with a spindle 42 which supports a plurality of disks 110 for rotation about a common axis, and a rotary actuator 20 which supports magnetic transducers for movement in unison across respective disk surfaces. The disk drive includes a disk drive enclosure having die-cast generated predetermined zero draft registration surfaces 30 - 40 for mounting the spindle motor shaft 42 and the actuator bearing shaft 44 and possibly magnet assemblies 46, 48. The enclosure includes a base casting 14 and a cover casting 16, each casting including structure (figs. 7 - 9) for locating and retaining electrical connectors used for connecting to a planar electronics card (90) located outside the drive enclosure. The disk drive includes an effective and easily manufacturable electrical path from a flex circuit to an actuator comb (figs. 11 - 13). The disk drive also includes a tubular, at least partly electrostatic, chemical breather filter (56) arranged with integral housing and diffusion channels (58) formed in the cover casting (figs. 14 - 24).

Abstract: A flexible magnetic recording disk (18) is nonremovably enclosed in a rigid jacket (10). A wall (17) of the rigid jacket includes a movable wall-piece (29) which operates as a disk cleaning member. The disk is clamped to a spindle/collet drive assembly while the disk cleaning member is spaced from the adjacent surface of the disk. Only after clamping has been accomplished is the disk subjected to the friction force of the cleaning member.
