Claims
- 1. A head suspension assembly having a load beam and a plurality of wires each having a covering contacting an outer surface of the wire, the wires passing through a tube and being configured to connect to a head slider when the head slider is mounted on the load beam, the head suspension assembly comprising:
- (a) a filler which fills a space between the tube and the covered wires at a clamping portion of the tube, wherein the tube is substantially transparent to ultraviolet light frequencies and the filler comprises a compound curable by the ultraviolet light frequencies; and
- (b) securing means for exerting a clamping force on said tube at the clamping portion of the tube, the clamping force exerted by said securing means at the clamping portion of the tube producing a friction force between the filler and the covered wires to inhibit movement of the covered wires and securing the tube against the load beam without substantially deforming a cross-sectional configuration of the clamping portion of the tube.
- 2. The head suspension assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein said securing means includes a claw section on the load beam.
- 3. The head suspension assembly as recited in claim 1, further comprising a mount plate attached to the load beam, said securing means being located for exerting the clamping force on said clamping portion of the tube on a side of said mount plate.
- 4. A head suspension assembly, comprising:
- a load beam;
- a tube substantially transparent to ultraviolet frequencies;
- a plurality of wires each having a covering contacting an outer surface of the wire, the wires passing through the tube and being configured to connect to a head slider when the head slider is mounted on the load beam;
- a filler, which completely fills a space between the tube and the wires at a clamping portion of the tube, the filler comprising a compound curable by ultraviolet light frequencies; and
- a clamp that exerts a clamping force at the clamping portion of the tube, the clamping force exerted by the clamp at the clamping portion of the tube producing a friction force between the filler and the wires to inhibit movement of the wires and securing the tube against the load beam without substantially deforming a cross-sectional configuration of the clamping portion of the tube.
- 5. The assembly of claim 4, wherein each of the wires has an insulating covering.
- 6. A head suspension assembly, comprising:
- a load beam;
- a tube substantially transparent to ultraviolet frequencies;
- a plurality of wires each having a covering contacting an outer surface of the wire, the wires passing through the tube and being configured to connect to a head slider when the head slider is mounted on the load beam;
- a filler which fills a space between the tube and the covered wires at a clamping portion of the tube, the filler comprising a compound curable by ultraviolet light frequencies; and
- a clamp which exerts a clamping force on the clamping portion of the tube, the clamping force exerted by the clamp at the clamping portion of the tube producing a friction force between the filler and the wires to inhibit movement of the wires and securing the tube against the load beam without substantially deforming a cross-sectional configuration of the clamping portion of the tube.
- 7. A head suspension assembly having a load beam and covered wires which pass through a tube which is transparent to ultraviolet light frequencies, the covered wires being configured to connect to a head slider when the head slider is mounted on the load beam, the head suspension assembly comprising:
- (a) a filler which fills a space between the tube and the covered wires at a clamping portion of the tube, the filler comprising a compound curable by ultraviolet light frequencies; and
- (b) securing means for clamping said tube, at the clamping portion of the tube, to secure the tube to the load beam.
- 8. A head suspension assembly, comprising:
- a load beam;
- a tube which is transparent to ultraviolet light frequencies;
- wires which pass through the tube, the wires being configured to connect to a head slider when the head slider is mounted on the load beam;
- a filler which completely fills a space between the tube and the wires at a clamping portion of the tube, the filler comprising a compound curable by ultraviolet light frequencies; and
- a clamp that secures the clamping portion of the tube to the load beam.
- 9. A head suspension assembly, comprising:
- a load beam;
- a tube which is transparent to ultraviolet light frequencies;
- covered wires which pass through the tube, the covered wires being configured to connect to a head slider when the head slider is mounted on the load beam;
- a filler which fills a space between the tube and the covered wires at a clamping portion of the tube, the filler comprising a compound curable by ultraviolet light frequencies; and
- a clamp which clamps the clamping portion of the tube against the load beam to secure the covered wires.
