Abstract
The head suspension assembly of a magnetic disk file is mounted to the disk file`s rigid actuator arm by means of an intermediate, arm-encircling, low profile, mounting band. A number of different mounting bands are disclosed for use in securing the head suspension assembly to the actuator arm. A head suspension assembly is permanently attached to the mounting band during a subassembly manufacturing procedure. The unitary mounting-band/head-suspension subassembly is then removably mounted on the end of the actuator arm by use of the mounting band.
