Patent number: 7495866Abstract: A fixing member is spaced from a head actuator by a predetermined distance. A flexible printed circuit board extends at least from the head actuator to the fixing member. The flexible printed circuit board is superposed on the surface of the fixing member. A viscoelastic layer and a protecting layer are overlaid on the surface of the flexible printed circuit board. A clip clips all the fixing member, the flexible printed circuit board, the viscoelastic layer and the protecting layer together. When a head slider is positioned, the head actuator changes its attitude relative to a recording disk. The inertial force based on the rotation causes the first flexible printed circuit board to vibrate when the actuator block stops rotating. The viscoelastic layer serves to absorb this residual vibration of the first flexible printed circuit board. Vibration of the flexible printed circuit board can be suppressed.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2004Date of Patent: February 24, 2009Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Mitsuhiro Izumi, Mitsuaki Yoshida, Hisashi Kaneko, Tsuneyori Ino, Yukihiro Komura, Shinji Fujimoto, Kei Funabashi

Patent number: 6504674Abstract: A recording disk apparatus includes a recording disk supported by a rotation axis. A clamp is fixed at the tip end of the rotation axis by screws so as to urge the recording disk against a flange at the base end of the rotation axis. The screws are disposed along an imaginary circle concentric to the rotation axis so as to fix a plane body of the clamp at the tip end of the rotation axis.
