Abstract
A pallet main body is provided with a block holding member which presses a positioning surface of an actuator block against a block reference surface formed in the pallet main body, and a movable arm. An insertion member, which can be inserted between a plurality of opposing suspensions, is formed at a distal end of the movable arm. As a suspension to which a slider is to be attached contacts a first contact surface formed on the side in contact with this suspension, a distal end of the suspension to which the slider is to be attached is held at a prescribed height from the block reference surface, thereby forming a gap between this suspension and a suspension opposed to this suspension.
Claims5
A suspension holder pallet for holding at a preset height a distal end of a suspension attached to an actuator block, and attaching a slider constituting a magnetic head to the distal end of the suspension, the suspension holder pallet comprising:
- a pallet main body;
- a lever having a first end which is rotatably mounted on the pallet main body:
- a shaft which is connected to a second end of the lever;
- a presser member which is connected to the shaft, thereby pressing a positioning surface of the actuator block against a block reference surface formed in the pallet main body;
- a movable arm provided in the pallet main body;
- an insertion member which is formed at a distal end of the movable arm and can be inserted between a plurality of opposing suspensions;
- and
- a first contact surface formed on a side in contact with the suspension to which the slider is to be attached,
- wherein the distal end of the suspension to which the slider is to be attached is held at a prescribed height from the block reference surface through contact of the suspension with the first contact surface, forming a gap between the opposing suspensions.
