Abstract
A limit stop for defining the range of motion of a disc drive actuator. The limit stop is formed from a single piece of material. It includes a cylindrical contact surface on the distal end of a cylindrical cantilevered beam. The beam is connected to a central mounting shaft by a radially extending bridging element. The compliance of the stop is determined by the material selection and control of certain dimensions.
