An actuator assembly usable un a hard disk drive includes an actuator arm
having an arm hole to improve dynamic characteristics. The actuator arm
of the actuator assembly has an arm hole having first, second, and third
extended portions, and two members positioned at both sides of the arm
hole. The first extended portion is formed at an edge positioned at a
leading end of the arm hole so that each of leading ends of the two
members has a first reduced width, the second extended portions are
formed at edges positioned at a rear end of the arm hole so that each of
rear ends of the two members has a second reduced width, and the third
extended portions are formed at both sides of a middle portion of the arm
hole so that each of middle portions of the two members has a third
reduced width. The third width is smaller than the second width and
larger than the first width, so that a displacement of a read/write head
in a major resonance mode is minimized, a bandwidth for position control
of the read/write head is widened, and a position error signal is
decreased when the hard disk drive operates.
