Record head actuator sandwiched damper plus travel limiter

The coarse adjustment subassembly of 10, wherein the isolation mount defines a pair of legs and wherein the isolation flexures are disposed at opposite ends of the legs.

The coarse adjustment subassembly 13, wherein bases of the isolation flexures span between and are attached to the legs.

The coarse adjustment subassembly 14, wherein arms of the isolation flexures span between and are attached to the coarse travel carriage and front end assembly.

A magnetic recording head positioning assembly comprising:

• a coarse travel carriage secured to and spaced away from each of a front end assembly and head assembly via sandwiched fine guiding flexures and isolation flexures such that the fine guiding flexures permit relative movement between the coarse travel carriage and head assembly and the isolation flexures permit relative movement between the coarse travel carriage and front end assembly to isolate the coarse travel carriage from the front end assembly and head assembly;
• and
• dampers sandwiched between the coarse travel carriage and isolation flexures to limit movement of the isolation flexures.
