Patent ID: 6920018

Claim:
A mechanism moving a slider toward a track on a rotating disk surface in a hard disk drive, to minimize track mis-registration, comprising: means for moving said slider parallel to said rotating disk surface toward said track, when said rotating disk surface is flat, by moving said actuator arm by a lever action through a principal axis with said slider parallel said rotating disk surface and flexibly mounted by a flexure at a second bias angle to said actuator arm; wherein a read-write head is encapsulated in said slider facing said rotating disk surface about a radial center in said hard disk drive; wherein said read-write head is communicatively coupled with said rotating disk surface to communicatively access said track; and means for radially moving said slider toward said track when said rotating disk surface is bent, by said flexure responding as said rotating disk surface is bent through said second bias angle causing said slider to radially move with respect to said track.
