Co-located gimbal-based dual stage actuation disk drive suspensions

A gimbaled flexure having a dual stage actuation (DSA) structure, comprising:

• a flexure comprising:
• a pair of spring arms;
• a tongue located between the spring arms;
• and
• a pair of struts, the struts positioned respectively between the pair of spring arms and the tongue, each strut connecting a respective one of the pair of spring arms to the tongue, wherein each of the pair of spring arms, the tongue, and the pair of struts are formed from a layer of metal, and the pair of struts is the only part of the layer of metal that connects the spring arms to the tongue;
• a slider mounting;
• and
• a motor mounted on the flexure, a first one of the pair of struts distal of a second one of the pair of struts, wherein electrical activation of the motor bends the pair of struts to rotate the tongue and the slider mounting about a tracking axis.
