Abstract: A very low cost disk drive suspension is a unitary structure carried in a strip with other structures that comprise a load beam and a flexure, the flexure having a head portion that forms a gimballing platform from inner and outer leaves carried on a frame leg, the load beam having an aperture with guiding fingers to receive and guide an axial connector that can be coined to mount the load beam on an actuator arm in lieu of using a mounting plate.

Abstract: In a head stack assembly, opposed pairs of up-facing and down-facing head gimbal assembly suspensions are supported on an actuator arm with a sloped end between the suspensions to provide different support to each pair member during staking operations that fasten the suspension to the arm to minimize gram load change differentials resultant from staking.

Abstract: A flexible conductor is mounted to a suspension comprising a flexure and a load beam using a flowable adhesive-passing channel at a locus of flexible conductor attachment to the suspension and a flowable adhesive forced into the channel in a manner forming a crown of the adhesive over and around the channel inlet, and hardening the adhesive in bonding relation with the flexible conductor and the suspension, the adhesive crown mechanically locking the suspension load beam, flexure and flexible conductor in their desired alignment.

Abstract: A liftable disk drive suspension load beam of spring steel comprises a base portion, a spring portion, an elongated beam portion having left and right edge rails, and a lift tip beyond the elongated beam portion. The beam portion has a longitudinally disposed flexure support tongue defining an attachment locus for attaching a flexure in cantilevered relation and having a situs for gimballing dimple contact with the flexure. The beam portion has left and right continued extents on either side of the tongue, these continued extents being, free of connection to said the support tongue fore and aft of the flexure attachment locus, the extents being joined beyond the attachment locus to support the lift tip from the elongated beam portion. The flexure tongue provides the flexure freedom of gimballing movement free of interference from the lift tip and the continued extents.

Abstract: An improved load beam/flexure assembly for mini Winchester disk drives is disclosed. The load beam is substantially straight where it is attached to the arm as opposed to the prior art 2.degree. 20' bend. Furthermore, the side flange edges of the load beam are tapered towards the slider end of the load beam and the side flanges have wire tube guiding tabs, allowing for the elimination of the split finger so that the slider arm end is substantially flat. The flexure is also designed to have the surface that is attached to the slider to be substantially parallel to the elongated load beam, instead of the prior art 2.degree. 20' angle of the prior art. Also, the load beam arm end is secured to the arm by ball staking with the arm end of the load beam positioned between the insert and the arm with the insert having a boss passing through the load beam. The result of these combinations is a reduction of the disk to disk spacing of approximately 50%, from 300 mils to about 160 mils.

Abstract: A disk drive suspension has a base portion, a spring portion, and a beam portion carrying a slider at a disk. The base portion is a laminate of two inextensible outer layers and an inner layer that is extensible in shear. Microactuators that expand or contract are attached by their opposite ends in angled or parallel relation to the respective outer layers to shift the outer layers relative to each other as a function of shearing in the inner layer to shift the slider at the disk.

Abstract: A load beam for a disk drive suspension in which the radius of the perimeter transition between the load beam portion and the load beam spring portion is increased to ensure the stress encountered when the load beam is bent from its normal range, for installation into a disk drive, for example, from a previously typical 0.002 inch to 0.010 inch, is distributed sufficiently that the load beam spring portion is subject to only elastic, not plastic deformation. Thus, the gram loads exerted by the load beam spring portion are reliably consistent.

Abstract: A low stiffness, high torsion disk drive suspension having reduced gram load change after backbending includes a laminate of a metal layer, a plastic film layer and a plurality of conductors, a spring portion, a base portion and a distal portion with contiguous discontinuities that reduce the vertical stiffness of the suspension with only a low reduction in torsion, and that limit gram load changes by preventing stretching of the plastic film that would otherwise accompany backbending of the spring portion of the suspension.
