Abstract
A dual plane single-stage actuator is disclosed. The actuator includes a step portion between the coil and head support portions, which increases its stiffness while permitting the coil support portion and head support portion of the actuator to lie in different planes. This allows the actuator to be installed in low-profile drives.
