Abstract
A magnetic head suspension of the present invention includes a flexure having a magnetic head mounting region, a load beam connected to the flexure and having a dimple at a portion corresponding to the magnetic head mounting region a load-bent portion generating a load for pressing a magnetic head to a magnetic disk via the load beam, and a base portion connected to a rear region of the load-bent portion. The load beam has a reinforcing structure that is symmetrical as viewed from the above based on a center longitudinal axis line, only in a center region in a longitudinal direction from a rearmost portion at the rear region to the dimple.

A magnetic head suspension comprising:
- a flexure having a magnetic head mounting region;
- a load beam portion connected to said flexure and having a dimple at a portion corresponding to said magnetic head mounting region;
- a load-bent portion generating a load for pressing a magnetic head to a magnetic disk via said load beam portion, said load-bent portion being formed by a member separate from a member forming said load beam portion;
- and
- a base portion connected to a rear region of said load-bent portion, wherein
- said member forming said load beam portion has a reinforcing flange structure that is symmetrical as viewed from the above based on a center longitudinal axis line, only in a portion that has a peak of the bending mode between a rearmost portion at the rear region and said dimple, and has no reinforcing structure other than said reinforcing flange structure.
A magnetic head suspension comprising:
- a flexure having a magnetic head mounting region;
- a load beam portion connected to said flexure and having a dimple at a portion corresponding to said magnetic head mounting region;
- a load-bent portion generating a load for pressing a magnetic head to a magnetic disk via said load beam portion, said load-bent portion being formed by a member separate from a member forming said load beam portion;
- and
- a base portion connected to a rear region of said load-bent portion, wherein
- said member forming said load beam portion has a reinforcing drawing structure that is symmetrical as viewed from the above based on a center longitudinal axis line, only in a portion that has a peak of the bending mode between a rearmost portion at the rear region and said dimple, and has no reinforcing structure other than said reinforcing drawing structure.
A magnetic head suspension comprising:
- a flexure having a magnetic head mounting region;
- a load beam portion connected to said flexure and having a dimple at a portion corresponding to said magnetic head mounting region;
- a load-bent portion generating a load for pressing a magnetic head to a magnetic disk via said load beam portion, said load-bent portion being formed by a member separate from a member forming said load beam portion;
- and
- a base portion connected to a rear region of said load-bent portion, wherein
- said member forming said load beam portion includes a rear region connected to a front region of said load-bent portion, an intermediate region extending from the rear region toward the distal end, and a front region extending from the intermediate region toward the distal end and reaching said magnetic head mounting region;
- said rear region has a rear short beam extending along a width direction, and a pair of rear side beams extending from both ends of the rear short beam to the distal end of the load beam portion and inclined toward the distal end of the load beam portion so as to come close to the center longitudinal axis line of the load beam portion;
- said intermediate region has a pair of intermediate side beams extending from the distal end of said pair of rear beams to the distal end of the load beam portion and inclined to be in parallel with the center longitudinal axis line of the load beam portion or inclined toward the distal end of the load beam portion so as to come close to the center longitudinal axis line of the load beam portion, and
- said rear side beams have an angle of inclination to the center longitudinal axis line of the load beam portion larger than that of said intermediate side beams;
- and
- said member forming said load beam portion has a reinforcing structure that is symmetrical as viewed from the above based on a center longitudinal axis line, only in a center region in a longitudinal direction from a rearmost portion at the rear region to said dimple.
