ABSTRACT:
A magnetic disk drive has a linear actuator with crash stops molded in the retainer plate of the drive. The retainer plate holds various components in the drive. The crash stops include two leaves which have sufficient resiliency to absorb the impact energy of the carriage. The retainer plate has a recess at the base of the leaves which provides additional length to each leave to provide resilience, the components held by the container plate dissipate the impact energy of stopping.
