An improved attachment of an actuator E-block of an actuator apparatus to a cartridge bearing assembly for a hard disc drive, the actuator apparatus having an E-block with a central bore having a pair of cartridge bearing alignment edges and a relief area, the cartridge bearing alignment edges disposed within the central bore to engage the cartridge bearing assembly. Mounting members extend through the wall of the E-block into the central bore to apply a frictional load there against and a compressive load against the cartridge bearing assembly sufficient to maintain contact between the cartridge bearing alignment edges of the E-block and the cartridge bearing assembly.
