Claims7
A disk device comprising:
- a rotatable disk-shaped recording medium;
- a plurality of magnetic heads which process data with respect to the recording medium;
- a rotatable actuator assembly comprising a plurality of suspension assemblies which support the plurality of magnetic heads, respectively;
- and
- a ramp comprising a plurality of guide portions engageable with the plurality of suspension assemblies, respectively, and a positioning portion which is configured to position the plurality of suspension assemblies with respect to the ramp during assembly.
A method of assembling a disk device comprising a rotatable disk-shaped recording medium, a plurality of magnetic heads which process data with respect to the recording medium, a rotatable actuator assembly comprising a plurality of suspension assemblies which support the plurality of magnetic heads, respectively, and a ramp comprising a plurality of guide portions engageable with the suspension assemblies, respectively, and a first positioning portion,
- the method comprising:
- fitting a holder fixture comprising a second positioning portion engageable with the first positioning portion of the ramp, to the actuator assembly, and holding the suspension assemblies at predetermined positions, respectively, by the holder fixture;
- moving the actuator assembly and the holder fixture fitted thereto, to a position where the second positioning portion of the holder fixture engages with the first positioning portion of the ramp, thereby positioning the holder fixture to the ramp, and
- rotating, the actuator assembly while the holder flexure is positioned, to move the plurality of suspension assemblies onto the guide portions of the ramp, respectively.
