ABSTRACT:
A system is disclosed for maintaining proper alignment of a hard disk micro-actuator and magnetic head with respect to a drive arm's suspension during the curing process of the bonding agent used in their coupling. Embodiments may include a system to couple an actuator element to a suspension element comprising: a shim element to be plated at a first location between an actuator element and a suspension element to maintain a relative orientation of the actuator element with respect to the suspension element during a curing process of a bonding agent at a second location between said actuator element and said suspension element.
