ABSTRACT:
A head actuator includes an actuator arm rotatably mounted on a base, a first drive mechanism rotating the actuator arm, a suspension supporting on a distal end thereof a head slider having a transducer, and a head attachment plate fixed to a proximal end of the suspension. The head actuator also has a protrusion disposed on the head attachment plate, a cavity defined in a distal end of the actuator arm and in which the protrusion is rotatably inserted, and a second drive mechanism for angularly moving the head attachment plate with respect to the actuator arm.
