    Abstract: A head support assembly for a disk drive is comprised of a head suspension assembly connected to an actuator arm at one end and supporting a head at the other end, wherein a projection is formed on a flexure closely fixed on a thin-plate load beam, said projection projecting toward a disk surface and having a smooth surface. The projection is formed at a region somewhat close to the head supporting end from the hinge portion of the load beam. When shock is applied to the disk drive, bending occurs around the hinge portion of the load beam. During such bending, the projection having a smooth round surface is caused to contact the disk, whereby the disk surface is prevented from being damaged.

    Abstract translation: 用于盘驱动器的头部支撑组件包括头悬挂组件,头悬挂组件在一端连接到致动器臂并且在另一端支撑头部,其中突起形成在紧密地固定在薄板负载梁上的挠曲件上, 所述突起朝向盘表面突出并且具有光滑的表面。 突起形成在距离负载梁的铰链部分靠近头部支撑端的区域处。 当对磁盘驱动器施加冲击时,在负载梁的铰链部分周围发生弯曲。 在这种弯曲期间,具有平滑圆形表面的突起与盘接触,从而防止盘表面被损坏。

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate an error due to thermal asperity by detecting a read defect on a data recording surface, varying the rotating speed of a disk and making a signal transducer which has decreased in flotation quantity collide, and breaking a projection as the thermal asperity. SOLUTION: Once the signal transducer 20 equipped with an air bearing surface(ABS) 44 and a magneto-resistive(MR) element 42 detects the projection 52 as the thermal asperity of the magnetic disk 18, the rotating speed of the disk is reduced. The ABS 44 of the signal transducer 20 which has decreased in flotation quantity by the speed reduction collides against the projection 52, which is broken, thereby eliminating the read error due to the thermal asperity.

    Abstract: A head support assembly for a disk drive is a head suspension assembly connected to an actuator arm at one end and supporting a head at the other end, wherein a projection (47) is formed on a flexure (14) closely fixed on a thin-plate load beam (12), the projection projecting toward a disk surface and having a smooth surface. The projection is formed at a region somewhat close to the head supporting end from the hinge portion of the load beam. When shock is applied to the disk drive, bending occurs around the hinge portion (45) of the load beam. During such bending, the projection having a smooth round surface is caused to contact the disk, whereby the disk surface is prevented from being damaged.
