ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates, in one aspect, to an apparatus for positioning a disk drive head over a disk which is a part of a disk drive assembly. A disk drive apparatus includes a base plate, a disk coupled to the base plate, a disk drive head assembly arranged over the disk, and an actuator assembly that is arranged to position the disk drive head assembly over the disk. The actuator assembly is coupled to the disk drive head assembly, and includes a ferrite piece and a crash stop contact point that is separate from the ferrite piece. The disk drive apparatus also includes a magnetic latching assembly which has a plate extension that is substantially stationary with respect to the disk, a magnet nest that is movably mounted over the plate extension, and a latch magnet that is coupled to the magnet nest. A crash stop, which is also included in the disk drive apparatus, is arranged to be contacted by the crash stop contact point when the disk drive head assembly is positioned in a parking position.
