<p>A base mounting portion (60) connects the gimbal spring (40) to a load beam (36) and thereby to the actuator (22) of the disc drive which positions the gimbal (40) and slider (20) over a desired track on the disc. The gimbal (40) includes opposed flexure arms (62, 64) which are formed of elongated members, each having a proximal end and a distal end which define an opening therebetween. The proximal ends of the flexure arms (62, 64) are operably coupled to the base (60), and the distal ends are cantilevered. A mounting tab (66) is positioned between the ends of the flexure arms (62, 64) and supports the slider (20). Bridge sections (76, 78) are provided which connect the distal ends (74) of the flexure arms (62, 64) to the mounting tab (66), the bridge sections (76, 78) extending at an angle relative to the flexure arms (62, 64) and being angled back toward the base section (60) of the gimbal (40).</p> |
