An ultra-small optical/magnetic head actuator includes: a swing arm
movable in a horizontal direction (tracking direction) and a vertical
direction (focusing direction) and having mounted thereon a head for
reading and writing information on a disk. A tracking actuator moves the
swing arm in the horizontal direction (tracking direction) and a pivot
hinge adjusts a radius of rotation of the swing arm and guides the
movement of the swing arm in the tracking direction. A focusing actuator
moves the swing arm in the vertical direction (focusing direction),
wherein the focusing actuator includes a focusing coil attached under the
swing arm and a Halbach magnet array disposed under the focusing coil
minimizes thickness. Friction or backlash can be avoided, and
non-repetitive errors can be reduced. The thickness of the ultra-small
storage device can be reduced due to the use of a Halbach magnet array.
