A disk pack balancing station is disclosed for balancing a disk pack
assembly, the disk pack assembly comprising a plurality of components
including a plurality of disks coupled to a hub of a spindle motor with
at least one disk spacer between the disks. The disk pack balancing
station comprises a first biasing arm rotated about a pivot to apply a
first biasing force to a first component of the disk pack assembly, and a
second biasing arm moved linearly to apply a second biasing force to a
second component of the disk pack assembly. This configuration enables
the disk pack balancing station to balance a number of different disk
pack assemblies, including a disk pack comprising an even number of disks
and a disk pack including an odd number of disks.
