Load mechanism for a beam addressable information storage disk drive system

摘要: A disk drive spindle and motor assembly is mounted on a support platform which translated reciprocally toward away from stationary cartridge by pair of rotationally driven cranks positioned along opposite sides the platform. The are coupled to eccentrically rods loosely captured in span between dual sets parallel, compliant leaf springs attached side edges rotational provided with degree overtravel forcefully urge platform, when operational position, against precision stops formed underside mount plate located cartridge. spatial relationship engaging surface relative such as precisely position rotating parallel tracking axis read/write head system. holes mate sliding locator pins depending maintain correct x-y positioning during its reciprocal translation.
