Abstract: A data storage disk drive is provided with a spindle which supports a plurality of disks having at least one magnetic disk surface to form a spindle assembly for rotation of the disk surfaces about a common axis and a rotary actuator which supports magnetic transducers for movement in unison about respective disk surfaces. The disk drive includes a disk drive enclosure having die-cast generated predetermined zero draft geometries for mounting the spindle motor shaft and the actuator bearing shaft. The enclosure includes a base casting and a cover casting, each casting including structure for locating and retaining electrical connectors used for connecting to a planar electronics card located outside the drive enclosure. The disk drive includes an effective and easily manufacturable electrical path from a flex circuit to an actuator comb. The disk drive includes a tubular chemical breather filter arranged with integral housing and diffusion channels formed in the cover casting.

Abstract: A disk drive within the dimensional confines of a form factor can optimise volumetric density by using the full height dimension to house disks (13), but must thereafter utilise the remaining space for electrical components. The structure shown uses a stack of parallel cards with an interface card (84) on the rear end wall to provide the principal drive control and data circuits outside the head-disk assembly (HDA; 13). The motor driver circuitry (107, 111) is mounted on a flat flexible cable (72) and is secured to the front wall (18) at the opposite end of the drive in heat transfer relation. The heat generating motor drive circuits are physically isolated from the data/control circuits by the frame and HDA while some of the printed circuit cards are secured to the frame in a manner that enhances rigidity; the allocation of modules to the cards anticipates flow of data and control signals so as to minimise the number of connections and signal delays that impair performance.

Abstract: A spindle assembly (12) has a shaft (14) with at least two axially spaced expandable shaft sections (20, 22). The expandable shaft sections serve to couple the spindle to a bearing assembly (30, 32) having inner races (34, 36). The expandable shaft sections are expanded elastically and uniformly into retentive contact with the inner races to provide radial and axial support for the spindle assembly.

Abstract: A disk drive structure maximises the axial length available for mounting disks within a predetermined height such as dictated by a form factor. A cast aluminium box frame 12 is used which supports the spindle and actuator assemblies and forms a part of the head disk enclosure in cooperation with a drawn metal cover 10. The box frame captures the spindle 9 and actuator shafts 40 at each end to ensure maximum overall assembly stiffness and to minimise the axial length required by the structure supporting the spindle. The box casting geometry is angled to establish the casting/cover joint around the disks before the diameter of the disks parallel to the width form factor, so that only the thinner cover is interposed in the region where the disks most closely approach the form factor. The cover and box frame are sealed and secured to one another by a thin compliant tape 11 that does not contribute stress to the box frame during thermal cycling.

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).
