Abstract
A formed in place damper for a data storage device. The damper is formed of an elastomeric bead which is cured to a cover or component to form a damper body having contoured shape or surface formed by an outer surface of the cured elastomeric bead. The damper is formed in place to a cover of the data storage device so that when the cover is assembled to a base, the damper is interposed between the cover or housing and a disc spindle assembly, actuator or voice coil motor. Alternatively the damper is formed to drive components, such as the disc spindle assembly, actuator or voice coil motor.
