Three piece suspension with framed gimbal flexure

摘要

A disk drive suspension has a noncantilevered flexure adapted to rotate about a dimple, the flexure comprising an open frame fastened by opposed tabs to a load beam, the flexure having a gimbal panel carrying the slider and connected fore and aft to the open frame for gimbaling response to slider movement providing the ease of manufacturing of an integrated flexure with the responsiveness of a dimple-type suspension.
