Abstract
A low profile swage mount for connecting a disc drive actuator arm to the load beam of a head suspension assembly and including a base plate formed on one side with an opening and having a hollow hub disposed on the opposite side. The hub is formed with an inner swaging surface having a diameter approximating the diameter of the base plate opening to give the swage mount torqe retention characteristics comparable to conventional swage mounts much larger in size.
