  • Support arm for use in an actuator assembly of a digital storage system with the support arm being formed from a polymer and including a grounding conductor
    Patent number: 5677815
    Abstract: A support arm (30) for use in an actuator assembly (500) of a digital storage system is fabricated from a polymer such as polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and is integrally molded with the hub section (502) of the actuator assembly (500). A conductor (36) is embedded within the support arm (30). Support arm (30) may be tapered or ribbed to provide greater rigidity and stiffness. A plurality of lead wire-retaining hooks (41) are molded along the edge of support arm (30) to facilitate lead wire (510) routing and result in less lead wire breakage.
