摘要

A suspension for a disc drive includes a load beam, a flexure that is attached to the load beam and that has a tongue portion as a moving part, and a limiter member that is attached to the flexure and that is used to restrain the angle of inclination of the tongue portion. The flexure includes a pair of outrigger portions, left and right, and the tongue portion is situated between the outrigger portions. The tongue portion carries a head thereon. The limiter member includes arms, detachedly facing the outrigger portions of the flexure in the thickness direction thereof in order to control the angle inclination of the tongue portion, and a front edge portion detachedly facing the rear end portion of the tongue portion in the thickness direction thereof.
