Abstract
In a disc drive, a lightweight, elongate actuator arm is provided supporting a high strength flexure. One end of the actuator arm carries a gear sector having teeth that mesh with a pinion carried on the stepper motor shaft. The gear sector and pinion are biased into engagement by a spring whose force extends directly along the access of the elongate actuator arm. The flexure supporting the transducer head extends out to the side of the actuator arm over the disc, and is positioned over selected tracks on the disc with rotation of the gear across the sector faces.
