A magnetic head suspension (10) has a flexure (18) and load beam (12) structure. The flexure portion includes a first connection arm member connected at a proximal end thereof to the distal apex of the load beam. Head support means are constructed and arranged for supporting a head slider bonded to one face of a bond pad area (26). The distal end of the flexible arms (28) flexibly suspend the bond pad area of the head support means. A stiffening member, adhesively secured to the load beam adjacent the distal end thereof, projects over at least a portion of the flexure portion and has a load protrusion projecting from a surface thereof for engaging the opposite face of the bond pad area, thereby increasing vertical axis stiffness and providing a gimballing point for facilitating tracking of the slider over the surface of a disk. |
