ABSTRACT:
An assembly and method for mounting a head in a disk drive (such as a disk reader or servowriter), comprising a detachable load beam slider arm adapted to carry the head on a distal end thereof, an actuator arm, and a threaded clamp for releasably attaching the proximal end of the load beam slider arm to the actuator arm, the threaded clamp being adapted to remain attached to the actuator arm when the load beam slider arm is removed. Alternatively, the slamp is adapted to remain attached to the load beam slider arm when the load beam slider arm is removed. Thus, the head may easily be removed and/or replaced simply by removing the head and load beam slider arm as a unit from the actuator arm and replacing it with another head-load beam slider arm unit.
