ABSTRACT:
A rotary to linear converter is disclosed in a flexible magnetic disk drive environment for translating the bidirectional, incremental rotation of a stepping motor into the linear stepwise displacement of a head carriage. A flexible, nonstretchable band is looped about a pulley nonrotatably mounted on the motor output shaft and is affixed thereto. Extending generally in opposite directions away from the pulley, the opposite ends of the band are apertured or otherwise adapted for engagement with respective hooks on the head carriage. Each hook has a substantially arcuate contact surface for direct engagement with the correspondingly shaped edge of the band defining the associated aperture, so that each end portion of the band is angularly displaceable in its own plate about the associated hook on the head carriage. Spring tensioned in its longitudinal, the band automatically aligns itself by simple engagement of the carriage hooks with its opposite ends. The hooks have overhangs for preventing the accidental detachment of the band.
