An actuator assembly has a plurality of head suspensions removably secured
to a plurality of arm regions of the actuator assembly. Each arm region of
the actuator assembly includes a spring mount which can be compressed or
expanded from a neutral state to a stressed state to engage an engagement
structure on the head suspension for removably securing the head
suspension to the arm region. In one embodiment, the spring mount is
comprised of a pair of spring arms having holes formed in the spring mount
that engage a plurality of vertical pins formed in a mounting region of
the head suspension. The spring arms are urged from the neutral state, the
pins are inserted through the holes in the spring arms, and the spring
arms are released to engage the pins, and thereby hold the suspension in
place. In a second embodiment, the spring mount includes a boss mount
having a pair of members extending in a transverse direction from the
spring arms. The transverse members of the boss mount each include a
concave surface that engages a boss extending from the mounting region of
the head suspension upon the compression or expansion of the boss mount
from the neutral state to the stressed state. Upon release of the boss
mount, the concave surfaces of the boss mount engage the boss, thus
providing an engagement force that securely holds the head suspension in
place in the actuator assembly.
