ABSTRACT:
An actuator with a moveable block and supporting a cantilevered arm has a windage stripper supported for movement in unison with the block and spanning a cantilevered length of the arm. The actuator has a load member connected to the arm and supports a data head at a cantilevered end, wherein the stripper comprises a vane terminating at a distal end beyond the cantilevered end. A method including moving a data storage medium creating windage adjacent to an actuator supporting a data head at a cantilevered end, and supporting a windage stripper comprising a vane at the cantilevered end for movement in unison with the actuator in shielding the cantilevered end from windage-induced excitation.
