Abstract
An assembly 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, and an actuator arm including a resilient clamp for releasably attaching the proximal end of the load beam slider arm to the actuator arm. 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.
