Abstract
A compact disk drive includes a rotary head actuator or voice coil motor for a head arm assembly formed with flexures. The baseplate for the drive is formed with recesses to contain the voice coil motor and a lower flexure whereby the depth of the drive is reduced. The magnet housing for the voice coil motor is contoured and located in a corner of the baseplate, and the head arms are oriented so that the length of the drive is reduced.
