Suspension, head gimbal assembly, head arm assembly with the head gimbal assembly and disk drive device with the head arm assembly

A head gimbal assembly comprising:

• a head slider having at least one head element;
• a resilient flexure for supporting said head slider to control flying attitude of said head slider;
• a load beam, supporting said flexure at its top end section, for applying a load in a direction perpendicular to a surface of a recording medium to said head slider;
• at least one fixing means, formed integral with said load beam, for fixing said load beam to a support arm;
• and
• a load-generation means, coupling said at least one fixing means with said load beam, for generating the load,
• said load-generation means having first at least one leaf spring section formed in a three-dimensionally bent shape and integral with said load beam, said first at least one leaf spring section being located at the rear of said at least one fixing means.

A head arm assembly comprising:

• a head slider having at least one head element;
• a resilient flexure for supporting said head slider to control flying attitude of said head slider;
• a load beam, supporting said flexure at its top end section, for applying a load in a direction perpendicular to a surface of a recording medium to said head slider;
• at least one fixing means formed integral with said load beam;
• a load-generation means, coupling said at least one fixing means with said load beam, for generating the load;
• a high rigid support arm fixed to said at least one fixing means at its top end section for supporting said load beam;
• and
• a drive means for rotationally moving the support arm in a direction parallel to said surface of the recording medium,
• said load-generation means having first at least one leaf spring section formed in a three-dimensionally bent shape and integral with said load beam, said first at least one leaf spring section being located at the rear of said at least one fixing means.
