Finite Element Analysis of a Hard Disk Drive Latch Mechanism

The design and analysis of a latch mechanism for a small for factor disc drive is presented. The principles involved are discussed using experimental as well as analytical results derived from finite element models. Result of uni-polar and bi-polar configurations are evaluated by considering the latch force as a function of displacement, flux distribution, and flux leakage.
