DISK DEVICE INCLUDING DAMPER TO ATTENUATE VIBRATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240096356 titled 'DISK DEVICE INCLUDING DAMPER TO ATTENUATE VIBRATION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a disk device with magnetic disks, a head gimbal assembly, a damper, and a carriage. The head gimbal assembly includes a magnetic head, load beam, and base plate. The damper has a viscoelastic material and a member attached to it. The carriage moves the magnetic head along the disk's recording surface and includes an arm with a flat surface where the base plate and viscoelastic material are fixed.
