Energy Absorbing Disc Travel Limiter With Multiple Adjacent Cantilevered Arms To Limit Disc Deflection

View page
US Patent:
6424487, Jul 23, 2002
Filed:
Jan 3, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/753827
Inventors:
Alan Thomas Nagl - Longmont CO
Howard Irving Sohm - Longmont CO
Assignee:
Seagate Technology LLC - Scotts Valley CA
International Classification:
G11B 554
US Classification:
360 9701
Abstract:
An energy absorbing disc travel limiter which not only mechanically defines a limit to the extent to which a disc in a disc drive can be axially displaced in response to applied mechanical shocks, but which also acts to damp the shock-induced motion of the discs, thus preventing contact between the discs and the actuator head mounting arms. The amount of damping provided by the disc travel limiter is determined by selection of the material of the disc travel limiter and selection of certain dimensions of the disc travel limiter.

Method And Apparatus For Subjecting A Device To Rotational Vibration

View page
US Patent:
63308282, Dec 18, 2001
Filed:
Apr 11, 2000
Appl. No.:
9/547064
Inventors:
Alan Thomas Nagl - Longmont CO
John Jay Freeman - Longmont CO
Assignee:
Seagate Technology LLC - Scotts Valley CA
International Classification:
B06B 300
US Classification:
73668
Abstract:
An apparatus for subjecting a disc drive to rotational vibration test profiles includes a mounting base, a disc drive mounting plate, and a rotary vibration motor assembly mounted between the mounting plate and the base in which the disc drive mounting plate may be vibrationally rotated about an axis through the base and plate. The motor assembly preferably includes a plurality of voice coil motors mounted and radially spaced about a tubular shaft supporting the disc drive mounting plate. The voice coil motors are connected and driven in series to impart the rotational vibrational profile to the disc drive mounted on the mounting plate. The method involves providing a support structure, a rotatable shaft carried by the support structure, a voice coil motor connected to the shaft for reciprocally rotating the shaft, mounting a device to be tested on the shaft, and applying a current to the voice coil motor to reciprocally rotate the shaft to vibrate the device.

Disc Drive Assembly

View page
US Patent:
45876452, May 6, 1986
Filed:
May 7, 1984
Appl. No.:
6/607668
Inventors:
Walter Wong - Longmont CO
Robert Abrams - Boulder CO
Alan Nagl - Longmont CO
William Repphun - Boulder CO
Assignee:
MiniScribe Corporation - Longmont CO
International Classification:
G11B 582
US Classification:
369 751
Abstract:
A venturi or other air deflecting means is provided on the inside of the casing of a disc drive. The venturi or air deflecting means is arranged so that air, which is caused to move by the rotating disc, passes it and creates the lowest pressure inside the disc casing. This low pressure area is communicated to atmospheric pressure.
