Patent attributes
An actuator assembly for a magnetic storage device includes a top surface and a bottom surface that opposes the top surface. The actuator assembly also includes a first constraining layer that is secured to the top surface by a first adhesive layer. The first adhesive layer is positioned between the top surface and the first constraining layer. Additionally, the actuator assembly includes a second constraining layer that is secured to the bottom surface by a second adhesive layer. The second adhesive layer is positioned between the bottom surface and the second constraining layer. At least one of (i) the first constraining layer is configured differently than the second constraining layer; and (ii) the first adhesive layer is configured differently than the second adhesive layer.
