A head stack assembly for a disk drive. The head stack assembly includes
an actuator body. The actuator body includes a main body section defining
a horizontal plane orthogonal to an axis of rotation. The actuator body
further includes an actuator arm extending from the main body section.
The actuator body further includes a flex cable guiding support extending
from the main body section adjacent the actuator arm orthogonal to the
horizontal plane. The head stack assembly further includes a flex cable
including a substantially flat main cable body disposed in mechanical
communication with the flex cable guiding support in planes orthogonal to
the horizontal plane parallel to the axis of rotation.
