ABSTRACT:
An improved flexure mounting arrangement for a disc drive system having a head positioning apparatus located within a housing for locating a plurality of magnetic read/write heads relatvie to recording media disposed within the housing. The mounting system includes one or more flexure mounts each having a base, a pair of attachment arms each having a screwhole extending longitudinally therethrough and a flexure support pad. The attachment arms extend from opposite sides of the base and are substantially symmetrical about the longitudinal axis of the flexure. A pair of longitudinally extending screws may thus be used to secure the flexure mount to the head positioning apparatus. The flexure support pad is thinner than the base and extends distally therefrom. The top and bottom surfaces of the support pad are adapted to engage separate flexures, thereby allowing the flexure mount to support one or two flexures independently of any other flexures within the disc drive.
