ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to preformed seals used in the manufacture of low density gas filled disk drives. The seals may be preformed to facilitate positioning in the disk drive and eliminate the need for manually applied or semi-automatically applied epoxies, thereby reducing manual labor costs, non-uniform seals, waste and inefficiencies due to equipment malfunction. The epoxy seals may soften and seal after being positioned, thereby forming an in-place hermetic or substantially hermetic seal.
