Patent number: 5808837Abstract: Improvements relating disk drives, particularly but not exclusively removable cartridge, magnetic, hard disk drives, including:(a) the use of a limit stop (16) to restrain the movement of a resiliently biased suspension arm 12, thereby allowing the disk drive to be used with disks having a range of thicknesses; and(b) the use of a memory actuation element which can be energised so as to move the read/write head clear of the disk surface during head loading and unloading, the memory actuation element comprising an element which is adapted to deform physically in response to an applied electric load or a change in temperature, such as a piezo ceramic element or shape memory alloy (SMA). The memory actuation element may be mounted on the suspension arm or on the limit stop and avoids the need for sliding contact with conventional head loading ramps.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 1997Date of Patent: September 15, 1998Assignee: Myrica (UK) LimitedInventor: Kenneth Hamilton Norton
