Optimized baseplate geometry for ball swaging process by using finite element analysis

A ball swaging process is commonly used in the hard disk drive manufacturing process to attach a suspension arm to an actuator arm via a part known as the baseplate. The geometry of the baseplate affects the contact pressure profile between the baseplate and the arm, torque retention of the swaged c...
