ABSTRACT:
A dual pivot mechanism for a disc drive having a base plate and an actuator arm driven by a pinion for moving a transducer head across a disc to read and write to the disc. One end of the pivot arm is pivotally connected to the actuator arm opposite the pinion, another end of the pivot arm has a fixed pivot connection to the base plate, the pivotal connection to the actuator arm being fixed axially. A constant preload mechanism is provided for biasing the pivot arm so that the actuator arm is in constant contact with the pinion.
