Abstract
A transducer suspension element is presented. The transducer suspension element includes a suspension member having a body, the body having a main portion, a first portion extending from the main portion and continuing to an outer edge, and a second portion extending from the main portion and continuing to an inner edge. At least one conductor is disposed within or on the suspension member body, the at least one conductor extending at least within a section of the first portion and within a section of the second portion of the suspension member, and wherein a length of the at least one conductor of the suspension member is greater than a minimal distance from the inner edge to the outer edge across the suspension member.
Claims29
A transducer suspension element comprising:
- a suspension member having a body, the body having a main portion, a first portion extending from the main portion and continuing to an outer edge, and the body having a second portion extending from the main portion and continuing to an inner edge;
- and
- at least one conductor within the suspension member body, the at least one conductor extending within the first portion, the main portion, and the second portion of the suspension member, and wherein a length of the at least one conductor within the suspension member body is greater than a minimal distance from the inner edge to the outer edge across the suspension member.
A transducer suspension element comprising:
- a suspension member having a body, the body having a main portion, a first portion extending from the main portion and continuing to an outer edge, and the body having a second portion extending from the main portion and continuing to an inner edge;
- and
- at least one conductor disposed along at least a portion of an outside surface of the suspension member, the at least one conductor having a first end and a second end wherein the first end extends within at least a section of the first portion, wherein the second end extends within at least a section of the second portion, and wherein the at least one conductor extends along an outside surface of at least a portion of the main body, wherein a length of the at least one conductor is greater than a minimal distance from the inner edge to the outer edge across the suspension member, and wherein at least one of the first portion and the second portion have a generally tapered shape.
A transducer suspension element comprising:
- a suspension member having a body, the body having a main portion, a first portion extending from the main portion and continuing to an outer edge, and the body having a second portion extending from the main portion and continuing to an inner edge;
- and
- at least one conductor disposed within the suspension member body along an inside surface of the suspension member, the at least one conductor extending within the first portion, the main portion, and the second portion of the suspension member,, and wherein a length of the at least one conductor within the suspension member body is greater than a minimal distance from the inner edge to the outer edge across the suspension member.
