Abstract
Disclosed is an assembly located in a memory device. The assembly includes: a suspension including a flexure to which a slider is coupled and a load beam disposed at an upper part of the flexure The assembly also includes at least one piezoelectric film coupled to the suspension and configured to control at least one of an angle between the load beam and the flexure in a pitching direction and an angle between the load beam and the flexure in a rolling direction by being extended or contracted when electrical current is applied thereto.

An assembly, comprising:
- a suspension including a flexure to which a slider is coupled and a load beam disposed at an upper part of the flexure;
- and
- at least one piezoelectric film coupled to the suspension, and configured to control at least one of an angle between the load beam and the flexure in a pitching direction and an angle between the load beam and the flexure in a rolling direction by being extended or contracted when electrical current is applied thereto.
A memory device, comprising:
- an assembly comprising:
- a load beam;
- a flexure coupled to the load beam and to which a slider is mounted;
- and
- at least one piezoelectric film coupled to the flexure and configured to control at least one of an angle between the load beam and the flexure in a pitching direction and an angle between the load beam and the flexure in a rolling direction by being extended or contracted when electrical current is applied thereto.
A suspension comprising:
- a load beam;
- a flexure coupled to the load beam and including a slider mounting portion for receiving a slider;
- at least one piezoelectric component coupled to the flexure and spaced apart from the slider mounting portion, the at least one piezoelectric component configured to receive an electrical current for rotating the slider mounting portion of the flexure relative to the load beam.
