  • Patent number: 5119537
    Abstract: A magnetic disk apparatus, a method for assembling an actuator mechanism thereof and an assembling unit of the actuator mechanism, wherein a plurality of head arms are installed integrally onto an arm supporting block and a head assembly is fixed to these head arms by use of arm mounting assembly. Also, an assembling method and assembling unit suitable for installing the head assembly to the head arm in the case that a plurality of head arms are installed integrally onto the arm supporting block. Because a plurality of head arms are installed integrally onto the arm supporting block, its assembling work is simple, the cost is decreased, and still more it is possible to effectively reduce a latent off-track of magnetic head.
