Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce head clash by forming a slot at nearly the center of a rack vertically to a rack tooth so as to suppress splash of grease. CONSTITUTION:The rack 14 is fixed to a carriage 13 mounting a magnetic head 12 for positioning on a magnetic disk 11, the rack 14 is in contact with a pinion 17 formed by a shaft 16 of a carriage drive motor 15 with a pre-load and a slot is formed to the rack 14. Since the pinion and rack have a tilt not corrected by the adjustment at assembling, wear powder caused at one side of the rack is led to the rack slot and excess grease is led to the rack slot. In the wear powder and grease in the slot, the grease comes on the wear powder due to the difference in the specific gravity and clean grease is always supplied to the rack/pinion. Further, since excess grease resides in the slot, no splash of grease is caused at head seek. Thus, the clash of magnetic head is avoided.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. In FIG. 1, a rack 14 is fixed to a carriage 13 on which a magnetic head 12 is mounted to be moved and positioned above a magnetic disk 11. As shown in FIG. The rack 14 is in contact with a pinion 17 cut into the shaft 16 of the carriage drive motor 15 under preload. Here, in the rack 14,
As shown in FIG. 2, the grooves are cut.

According to the magnetic disk drive configured as described above, wear particles generated on one side of the rack, especially because the binion and rack have an inclination that cannot be corrected even by adjustment during assembly, are guided into the rack groove. At the same time, excess grease is also guided into the rack groove.

Due to the difference in specific gravity between the wear powder and grease accumulated in the groove, the grease accumulates on top of the wear powder, and clean grease is always supplied to the rack binion. Furthermore, since excess grease accumulates in the groove, the grease will not scatter during head seeking.
