Abstract
A suspension and an actuator with the same for a hard disk drive. A suspension includes a load beam having one end portion coupled to a swing arm and another end portion from which a dimple protrudes in a direction toward a disk, and a flexure having one end portion fixed to a surface of the load beam opposing the disk and another end portion in contact with the dimple. A part of the another end portion of the load beam from the dimple in a direction away from the one end portion is bent in a direction opposite to a protruding direction of the dimple, so as to widen a space between the another end portion of the load beam and the another end portion of the flexure.
Claims11
A suspension including a load beam having one end portion coupled to a swing arm and another end portion from which a dimple protrudes in a direction toward a disk, and a flexure having one end portion fixed to a surface of the load beam opposing the disk and another end portion in contact with the dimple,
- wherein a part of the another end portion of the load beam from the dimple in a direction away from the one end portion is bent in a direction opposite to a protruding direction of the dimple, so as to widen a space between the another end portion of the load beam and the another end portion of the flexure.
A suspension including a load beam having one end portion coupled to a swing arm and another end portion from which a dimple protrudes in a direction toward a disk, and a flexure having one end portion fixed to a surface of the load beam opposing the disk and another end portion in contact with the dimple,
- wherein a width of a part of the another end portion of the load beam from the dimple in a direction away from the one end portion is smaller than a width of the flexure.
An actuator including a magnetic head slider, a suspension attaching and supporting the magnetic head slider, and a swing arm rotatably installed to a base plate of a hard disk drive supporting the suspension,
- wherein the suspension includes a load beam having one end portion coupled to the swing arm and another end portion from which a dimple protrudes in a direction toward a disk, and a flexure having one end portion fixed to a surface of the load beam opposing the disk and another end portion in contact with the dimple,
- wherein a part of the another end portion of the load beam from the dimple in a direction away from the one end part is bent in a direction opposite to a protruding direction of the dimple, so as to widen a space between the another end portion of the load beam and the another end portion of the flexure.
An actuator including a magnetic head slider, a suspension attaching and supporting the magnetic head slider, and a swing arm rotatably installed to a base plate of a hard disk drive supporting the suspension,
- wherein the suspension includes a load beam having one end portion coupled to the swing arm and another end portion from which a dimple protrudes in a direction toward a disk, and a flexure having one end portion fixed to a surface of the load beam opposing the disk and another end portion in contact with the dimple, and
- wherein a width of a part of the another end portion of the load beam from the dimple in a direction away from the one end portion is smaller than a width of the flexure.
A suspension comprising:
- a load beam having a first end coupled to a swing arm and a second end from which a dimple protrudes;
- and
- a flexure having a first end connected to the load beam at a side of the load beam from which the dimple protrudes and a second end in contact with the dimple,
- wherein a portion of the second end of the load beam distal from the swing arm is bent in a direction opposite to a direction in which the dimple protrudes so as to increase a space between the second ends.
