  • Abstract
    An actuator for magnetic recording disk drives based on flexures and coupled to a voice coil motor (VCM) was developed for a 3.5-in disk drive. The design and performance of this system is described. This high-performance flexural actuator has been shown to have unique advantages over conventional designs, demonstrated in a magnetic recording disk file prototype
