Patent ID: 7038886

Claim:
A positioner for moving an E-block and a data transducer of a disk drive relative to a storage disk of the disk drive, the positioner comprising: a magnet assembly producing a magnetic field; and a conductor assembly that couples to the E-block and is positioned near the magnet assembly, the conductor assembly including (i) a first coil array, and (ii) a second coil array positioned in substantially the same plane as the first coil array, wherein the first coil array includes a first left leg, a first right leg, a first distal section and a first proximal section, the first left leg extends between the first distal section and the first proximal section, the first right leg extends between the first distal section and the first proximal section and is spaced from the first left leg, the first distal section extends between the first left leg and the first right leg, and the first proximal section extends between the first left leg and the first right leg and is spaced from the first distal section and is closer to the E-block than the first distal section is to the E-block, the second coil array includes a second left leg, a second right leg, a second distal section and a second proximal section, the second left leg extends between the second distal section and the second proximal section, the second right leg extends between the second distal section and the second proximal section and is spaced from the second left leg, the second distal section extends between the second left leg and the second right leg, and the second proximal section extends between the second left leg and the second right leg and is spaced from the second distal section and is closer to the E-block than the second distal section is to the E-block, and the first coil array encircles the second coil array, and the second left leg is parallel to the second right leg.
