203 results about "Gimbal" patented technology

A gimbal is a pivoted support that allows the rotation of an object about a single axis. A set of three gimbals, one mounted on the other with orthogonal pivot axes, may be used to allow an object mounted on the innermost gimbal to remain independent of the rotation of its support (e.g. vertical in the first animation). For example, on a ship, the gyroscopes, shipboard compasses, stoves, and even drink holders typically use gimbals to keep them upright with respect to the horizon despite the ship's pitching and rolling.

LOADBEARING FINE ACTUATOR PROTECTION FEATURE

PendingDE102025124390A1Arm with actuatorsRecord information storageHard disc driveClassical mechanics
A gimbal head assembly (HGA), such as that used in a hard disk drive (HDD), comprises a load beam formed with proximal openings and a bend coupled to the load beam. The bend includes a tongue section to which a fine actuator is coupled, and the tongue section includes corner sections proximal to the fine actuator. Each opening of the load beam is shaped and positioned to overlap the corner section of the bend, preventing contact between the load beam and the corner section in response to shock events. This creates a gimbal clearance of the bend relative to the load beam, protecting the integrity of the piezoelectric fine actuator elements from, for example, non-operational shock events.
