A movable platform (50) is mounted on opposing guide rails (52, 54) within a disk drive (40). A head actuator (60) and a spindle motor (82) are mounted on the movable platform. The platform moves on the guide rails from a forward position to a rearward position upon insertion of a disk cartridge (10) into the disk drive. As the platform moves toward the rearward position, the elevation of the platform changes in order to bring the spindle motor in engagement with the hub of the disk cartridge. A latch member (138) is pivotally mounted on one of the guide rails for latching the platform in its forward position when the disk drive is not in use.

Une plate-forme mobile (50) est montée sur des rails de guidage opposés (52, 54) dans une unité de disque (40). Un dispositif d'actionnement (60) de tête et un moteur (82) à broche sont montés sur la plate-forme mobile. La plate-forme se déplace sur les rails de guidage depuis une position avant vers une position arrière lorsqu'on insère une cartouche de disque (10) dans l'unité de disque. A mesure que la plate-forme se déplace vers la position arrière, la hauteur à laquelle elle se trouve change de sorte que le moteur à broche entre en prise avec le moyeu de la cartouche à disque. Un élément de verrouillage (130), monté pivotant sur un des rails de guidage, est conçu pour verrouiller la plate-forme en position avant lorsque l'unité de disque n'est pas utilisée.
