Abstract
A head carriage assembly is provided. A secondary magnetic driving device situated on a side of a hub portion is of a movable coil type, and includes a movable coil and a magnetic circuit body. The movable coil has an axial line perpendicular to a surface including a rotational center shaft, and is secured to a side surface of the hub portion. The magnetic circuit body is made up of a U-shaped yoke and a permanent magnet. A yoke side surface penetrates through an opening of the movable coil, with a little room being left in the opening. A long side of the movable coil is engaged with the magnetic gap, also with a little room being left. The yoke side surface serves as the iron core of the movable coil. In a tracking operation, the secondary magnetic driving unit is actuated. A point in the movable coil where force is generated is distant from the rotational center shaft, and the torque constant of the point is large.
