DISK DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240321298 titled 'DISK DEVICE
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a disk device with a unique configuration involving a load beam, protrusion, flexure, slider, and second element.
- The first protrusion extends from the load beam in a specific direction away from the rotation axis.
- The flexure includes a mounting part supported by the first protrusion.
- The slider, mounted on the mounting part, contains elements for reading and writing data on a magnetic disk.
- The second element is attached to the slider away from the geometric center of the floating surface.
- The contact position between the first protrusion and the mounting part is strategically located in relation to the slider's center of gravity.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Unique configuration of load beam, protrusion, flexure, slider, and second element.
- Specific positioning of components for optimal performance.
- Enhanced stability and functionality of the disk device.
Potential Applications:
- Data storage devices
- Computer hard drives

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include the manufacturing of high-performance data storage devices for various industries such as technology, telecommunications, and data management.
Questions about Disk Device Technology: 1. How does the unique configuration of the disk device components contribute to its overall performance? 2. What specific advantages does the positioning of the second element provide in terms of data reading and writing accuracy?
Original Abstract Submitted
according to one embodiment, a disk device includes a load beam, a first protrusion, a flexure, a slider, and a second element. the first protrusion protrudes from the load beam away from a rotation axis in a first direction. the flexure includes a mounting part supported by the first protrusion. the slider is mounted on the mounting part, and includes a first element that reads and writes information from and to a magnetic disk, and a floating surface facing the magnetic disk. the second element is attached to the slider apart from a geometric center of the floating surface in the first direction. on a projection plane as viewed in a direction orthogonal to the floating surface, a contact position between the first protrusion and the mounting part is located between a geometric center of the slider and a center of gravity of the second element.
