Abstract
A suspension is cantilevered at the tip end of a carriage arm. A magnetic head is mounted on the free end of the suspension. A lift bar in parallel with the disk surface contacts the suspension from the below. The lift bar may move in the path intersecting the suspension while contacting the suspension. The lift bar thereby generates the warp in the suspension. The magnetic head at the free end of the suspension may be kept away from the disk surface as a result of the warp in the suspension. The adjustment of the orientation of the lift bar enables to prevent the suspension from twisting.
