PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to suppress the slip of a pivot and to deal with high-speed operation by allowing an intermediate member having the hardness smaller than the hardness of the pivot for abutment of the pivot to exist on a surface facing the pivot of the gimbals to be mounted with a head slider and intruding the pivot into the intermediate member. SOLUTION: The pivot 5 is formed at the front end of a load beam 1 made of stainless steel. The gimbals 2 made of stainless steel is mounted by spot welding to the region of the load beam 1 on the side nearer the base end side of the pivot 5. The surface of the gimbals 2 facing a disk is provided with the head slider 3. The intermediate member 7 is formed on the surface of the gimbals 2 facing the load beam 1. Materials having a high viscosity and relatively small hardness, for example, resins, such as polyimide, and metals, such as Au, are used as the material constituting the intermediate member 7. The pivot 5 presses the intermediate member 7 having the hardness smaller than the hardness of the pivot 5 to recess the intermediate member 7. As a result, the slip of the pivot 5 and the gimbals 2 is suppressed.
