Embodiments of the invention provide a head gimbal assembly and a head
stack assembly suitable for a miniature magnetic disk drive, and capable
of being assembled in an accurate alignment during its fabrication. In
one embodiment, a fixing member is disposed in contact with a pivot, an
assembly formed by combining a head gimbal assembly and a carriage
assembly is put on the pivot and pressed in the direction of the arrow
toward the fixing member, and is fastened to the pivot with a nut. Since
the head gimbal assembly is provided with a hole to receive the pivot
therein provided with two straight edges, the relative positions of the
turning axis of the pivot, the head gimbal assembly and the carriage
assembly are adjusted properly so that clearances between the parts are
absorbed.
