ABSTRACT:
A limit stop/latching assembly in a disk storage system includes a crash stop for limiting travel of the actuator carriage at a fixed stop position. The assembly has a first abutment surface defining the stop position, a stop pin on the actuator carriage movable in a path by travel of the actuator carriage to abut the first abutment surface, and a latch having a second abutment surface which is movable between a free position out of the path of the stop pin and a latched position with the second abutment surface abuting the stop pin and facing the first abutment surface across the path to latch the stop pin at the stop position. Advantageously, the latch is mounted for movement around a first mounting pin in rotary travel having a center defined by the crash stop pin.
