ABSTRACT:
A disk drive slider positioner (180) includes a frame (184) having a pair of arms (216a,216b) that cantilever from a base (188). A slider (140) is positioned within frame (184). A pair of slots (224a,224b) extend down through the frame (184) and also extend along part of the corresponding arm (216a,216b). Each slot (224a,224b) includes a corresponding first slot section (228a,228b) and a wider corresponding second slot section (232a,232b). A material (240) that is more pliable than the frame (184) preferably occupies the entire length of each first slot section (228a,228b). Excess first material (240) may overflow into the corresponding wider second slot section (232a,232b), thereby reducing the potential for excess first material (240) occupying any portion of the space between a leading edge (144) of the slider (140) and the frame (188).
