POLE LATCH OF RAMP-LOADING HARD DISK DRIVE, LATCH FOR ACTUATOR ARM, LATCH ASSEMBLY, HARD DISK DRIVE AND LATCH PROCESSING METHOD FOR ACTUATOR ARM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a latch for fixing an actuator arm of an HDD.;SOLUTION: This latch includes a catch section which is to be coupled to an actuator arm latch section. The latch includes a pusher section and crash-stop section which are coupled to the actuator arm by acting on a latch position and act to prevent the latch from jumping out. The pusher section and the crash stop section eliminate the need for crash stops, separated apart from the disk drive. If the separated apart crash-stop elements are eliminated, the manufacturing process step for the disk drive are simplified and cost is reduced.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2002,JPO
