An improved bearing cartridge to rotationally couple an actuator block supporting a plurality of heads to a chassis of a disc drive. The improved bearing cartridge having increased radial stiffness and including first and second concentrically aligned elongated sleeves. The first sleeve is coupled to the chassis and the second sleeve is coupled to the actuator block. The first and second sleeves are spaced to define a rotation gap therebetween. The bearing cartridge includes first and second spaced bearings positioned proximate to opposed ends of one of said first or second sleeves and at least one intermediate bearing spaced from the first and second bearings and positioned between the first and second bearings to rotationally connect the first and second sleeves.
