Abstract
A stabilization mechanism limits rotational vibration in a module enclosure containing plural objects, such as computer disk drives, that produce rotational vibration about a rotational axis. The mechanism includes stabilizer structure coupled to an outer surface of the module enclosure and constructed to transmit a force toward the object that is effective to stabilize the object in the module enclosure. The stabilization mechanism may be formed as first and second spring-loaded contacts that each apply a constant force to the object.
