ABSTRACT:
An swage plate bumper overlies the swage plate of a suspension arm and the end of an actuator arm in a computer disc drive. The swage plate bumper may be molded in two pieces which snap together onto the actuator arm through the swaged hole. Alternatively, the swage plate bumper may be provided with an adhesive attachment to the swage plate, or the swage plate may be coated with a compressible coating during manufacture. The swage plate bumper extends over four corners of the swage plate and prevents damage to the disc surface which might otherwise be caused when the corners of the swage plate contact the disc during a drop or other sudden acceleration.
