ABSTRACT:
An airlock latch assembly for restraining a disk drive actuator when the disk drive is subjected to rotary shock forces includes a first member and a second member rotatably mounted to the disk drive base. The second member engages the first member, preventing the first member from disengaging with the actuator assembly while the disk is not spinning. The two members are mechanically related such that one member can rotate in one direction only when the other member rotates in the opposite direction. The latch assembly also restrains the actuator in its proper position when the disk drive is subject to linear shock forces.
