Embodiments of the invention improve the impact-resisting performance of a
disk drive. In a head actuator assembly according to an embodiment of the
invention, the difference in resonance frequency between an arm bending
mode and a coil bending mode is set at a predetermined value or less.
Since there is a phase difference between these two modes, an oscillation
gain in the arm bending mode can be greatly decreased by approximating
the two resonance frequencies to each other. Consequently, it is possible
to suppress collision of a head with a recording disk caused by an
external shock and thereby improve the impact-resisting performance of a
disk drive.
