ABSTRACT:
A magnetic disk drive has a drive motor mounted on a yoke which is rotatable about a pivot in the drive. A bezel member mounted on the end of the yoke normally closes the opening in the disk drive through which a cartridge is inserted. As this bezel member is moved out of the cartridge, the motor is moved out of the position in which it engages the disk and when the bezel member is closed, the motor moves into the engagement position. The motor is mounted on the yoke with a movable connection so that it is guided in a linear movement into engagement with the motor. In one embodiment the motor is guided by a shaft extending from the drive base plate through a guide opening in the motor.
