Abstract
According to one embodiment, a disk device includes a first actuator assembly and a second actuator assembly which are respectively supported by a first bearing unit and a second bearing unit to be rotatable about a support shaft. The first bearing unit includes a first sleeve and a ball bearing. The second bearing unit includes a second sleeve and a ball bearing. The first sleeve includes a first end surface opposed to the second sleeve and an annular first step projecting from the first end surface, and the second sleeve includes a second end surface opposed to the first step with a gap and an annular second step projecting from the second end surface. The second step is opposed to the first step and the first end surface with a gap.
Claims3
A disk device comprising:
- a rotatable disk shaped recording medium;
- a first actuator assembly including a first actuator block rotatably supported on a support shaft via a first bearing unit, a suspension assembly extending from the first actuator block, and a magnetic head supported by the suspension assembly;
- a second actuator assembly including a second actuator block rotatably supported on the support shaft via a second bearing unit, a suspension assembly extending from the second actuator block, and a magnetic head supported by the suspension assembly;
- and
- a seal structure including a gap of labyrinth-shape defined in a boundary between the first actuator block and the second actuator block and configured to suppress leakage of lubricant from the first and second bearing unit to the outside of the first and second actuator blocks.
