A protrusion is opposed to a head actuator positioned at the inoperative
position in a recording medium drive such as a hard disk drive. When a
larger impact is applied to the head actuator, the head actuator deforms
by a predetermined amount, so that the protrusion receives the head
actuator. The deformation of the head actuator is thus restricted. A
collision can be avoided between the head actuator and the recording
medium. The predetermined amount can be determined based on the space or
distance between the head actuator and the recording medium. It is
possibly easy to assemble and position the protrusion relative to the
head actuator at a higher accuracy, as compared with the case where the
overall planar surface must be positioned relative to the head actuator
at a higher accuracy in the conventional manner. This leads to the
production of the protrusion or displacement suppression member at a
lower cost.
