Abstract: The constitutional body of the deflection yoke of the present invention comprises a vertical deflection coil which are constituted with two sets of coils two pairs of one for generating a pincushion magnetic field and one for generating a barrel magnetic field, and by connecting, to one set thereof, one set of diodes connected with each other, with the respective polarities of the diodes being opposite to each other, in parallel, the occurrence of inverse trilemma is substantially prevented.

Abstract: An actuator for a magnetic disk device causes movement of a magnetic head in the radial direction of a rotating magnetic disk. Although this magnetic head is floated above the magnetic disk by a stream of air induced by the rotation of the magnetic disk at a high speed, an excessively high velocity of the air stream causes excessive vibrations of a soft gimbal resiliently supporting the magnetic head. In the actuator of the present invention, a head arm supporting the magnetic head through the gimbal is formed with a wind-breaking projection preventing direct impingement of the air stream against the gimbal and magnetic head, thereby minimizing vibrations of the gimbal and magnetic head.

Abstract: A magnetic disk storage device capable of avoiding the occurrence of vibration of magnetic disks and off-track of magnetic heads with respect to the magnetic disks, including an inner shroud enclosing a disk assembly composed of a multiplicity of magnetic disks stacked in superposed relation with spacers being interposed therebetween and formed at its outer peripheral wall with first ports for inserting access arms therethrough and at its top above a spindle supporting the disk assembly with a second port, a cylindrical filter for removing dust from air flowing through the second port of the inner shroud into the interior thereof, and a dust cover enclosing the inner shroud, actuators and filter. The provision of the inner shroud is conductive to prevention of development of turbulent air flow in the vicinity of the magnetic disks.
