ABSTRACT:
A disk drive has a base, a cover, a spindle motor mounted to the base, and a disk coupled to the spindle motor. A rotary actuator comprising a head stack assembly is coupled to the base by a pivot bearing assembly. The pivot bearing assembly provides a stationary member, a bearing, and a sleeve member for rotatably supporting the actuator. The pivot bearing assembly further provides an elastomeric interface between the stationary member and the actuator such that vibratory motion imparted to the head stack assembly is dampened by the elastomeric interface.
