ABSTRACT:
A double sided disk drive has a first transducer mounted to a carriage via a flexure seat for data transfer with one recording surface of a disk, and a second transducer mounted via another flexure seat to a carrier arm which in turn is pivoted on the carriage, for data transfer with another recording surface of the disk. An extremely thin piece of sheet metal of biaxial gimbal configuration, the flexure seat supporting the second transducer on the pivotal carrier arm is particularly susceptible to permanent deformation or breakage in the event of a violent swinging of the arm, as when the disk drive is dropped with no disk loaded therein. A deflection limiter is therefore attached to the carrier arm for limiting the deflection of the flexure seat for the second transducer toward the magnetic disk when the transducer is out of data transducing contact with the disk.
