ABSTRACT:
An actuator assembly in a disc drive includes a track accessing arm, a load beam and a slider. A proximal end of the load beam is mounted to the track accessing arm and a distal end of the load beam carries the slider proximate to a rotatable data storage disc. The load beam transmits a load force to the slider in the direction of the data storage disc. A support beam extends from the track accessing arm and supports a load force reducer between the support arm and the load beam. The load force reducer is operatively coupled between the support beam and the load beam for reducing the load force during take-off and landing of the slider relative to the disc surface.
