<p>A magnetic head suspension for attachment to a rigid head arm comprises a spring load beam element and a flexure element. The load beam element (14) is formed from material generally having a first thickness. The load beam has a central region (38, 50, 60, 70) having a second thickness, less thick than the first thickness, formed in a spring region (40). The second thickness may be formed by the partial (50, 60) or complete (38, 70) removal of load beam material in the central region. First thickness legs (40, 42) bounding the central region (38) may be formed to be of widest width (W3) at the location proximal to the rigid section of the load beam, and of narrowest width (W4) between the two ends of each leg, thus providing good lateral stiffness and spring rate characteristics.</p> |
