SUSPENSION OF AN ACTUATOR FOR AN INFORMATION STORAGE DEVICE, WHICH HAS AN ENHANCED END-TAB, ESPECIALLY CORRELATED TO INCREASING LIFE OF THE END-TAB WHILE QUICKLY PERFORMING END-TAB LOADING/UNLOADING PROCESSES, TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE OF AN INFORMATION STORAGE DEVICE

摘要

PURPOSE: A suspension of an actuator for an information storage device, which has an enhanced end-tab is provided to has a shape in which the width of an end-tab gradually is increased while the end-tab goes toward a suspension body from a section thereof, thereby minimizing the weight increase of the end-tab while increasing stiffness. CONSTITUTION: A suspension body(122) is installed in a section of a swing arm(110) rotatively disposed on a base plate of a hard disk drive. A slider(130) having a read/write head is attached to a disk opposed surface of the suspension body(122). An end-tab(124) is extended from a section of the suspension body(122), and gets wider as going toward the suspension body(122) from a front section thereof. The end-tab(124) is formed in convex shape toward a supporting surface(43) of a ramp(40).
