Abstract
An attachment of multiple head arm assemblies to an actuator in a magnetic data disk drive system. A leaf spring applies a uniform load against angle surfaces formed on the head arm assemblies. This creates forces on the head arm assemblies to align reference surfaces formed on the head arm assemblies against reference surfaces formed on the carriage. Loads on the head arm assemblies are due to the geometry of the parts rather than on screw torques.
