An inertial latch for a linear actuator disk drive includes a carriage assembly carrying read/write heads linearly into and out of engagement with a recording medium. An arm rotating about a pivot has one end which engages the latch, and a counterweight on the other end of said arm. A key on the counterweight slides linearly in a slot as the carriage assembly moves linearly. The key fits into a keying portion of the slot which constrains said counterweight so that it cannot move if it is tilted by gravity or shock.
