ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for accurately mounting and aligning a disk on a collet is disclosed. The apparatus uses a female guiding member to move along the surface of a protruding male member on the end of the collet. The female guiding member is positioned such that when mated with the male protrusion on the collet, the disk opening is in axial alignment with the collet. The apparatus grips the disk between two posts and a compliant spool. The disk, when held is allowed to move in directions parallel to the plane of the disk.
