Abstract

See full text

A magnetic disc drive includes a magnetic disc having a surface for storing information. The disc drive includes a drive chassis which forms an electrical ground. A head assembly reads and write information on the disc surface. An armature extends across the disc surface and positions the head assembly over the disc surface. A gimbal assembly at the end of the armature couples to the head assembly. Electrically conductive metal paths extend between the head assembly and the gimbal assembly, thereby coupling the head assembly to electrical ground.
