Head stack fixtures for securing head stack assemblies to spin stand
testing systems, and spin stand testing systems incorporating such
fixtures, are disclosed. Exemplary head stack fixtures comprise a base
supporting a piezoelectric actuator. The base includes an attachment
mechanism for securing the HSA in such a way that the HSA will pivot
relative to the base. When the HSA is secured to the base, the
piezoelectric actuator engages the HSA. The piezoelectric actuator is
therefore able to pivot the HSA relative to the base for fine positioning
of a head of the HSA.
