A disk apparatus includes a bracket, a loading motor, a gear unit, and a slider cam. The loading motor is attached to the bracket. The gear unit is installed in the bracket and is connected with the loading motor for power transmission from the loading motor. The slider cam is transversely movable between a transverse loading/unloading position and a transverse reading position. The slider cam operatively mates with the gear unit and slidably engages with the bracket at a first cam portion and a second cam portion thereof. The first cam portion is engageable with the bracket in a plane different from the second cam portion.
