1. A method for injection molding a layer of phase change material around a surface of each of a plurality of identical hard disc drive components comprising:

  • a) providing a plurality of identical hard disc drive components;

    b) placing one of said plurality of identical hard disc drive components in a mold cavity of an injection molding machine having a controllable fill rate and a controllable injection pressure;

    c) closing said mold cavity;

    d) injecting a molten phase change material into said mold cavity at fill rates and injection pressures;

    e) monitoring pressure in the mold cavity;

    f) controlling the fill rate of said molten phase change material to obtain said hard disc drive component with the phase change material thereon; and

    g) repeating steps b)-f) to produce said plurality of components each having a substantially uniform resonance spectrum.
