ABSTRACT:
A low stiffness apparatus supporting a read/write transducer head slider for reduced pitch and roll bias in flying conditions. The apparatus comprises an actuator arm, a load beam, and a flexure in combination. The flexure is comprised of an outer portion, an inner portion, and a bight portion. The bight portion connects the inner portion to the outer portion and provides a one step double bend resulting in a spaced relation between the inner and outer portions along the z-axis. The inner portion also has a dimple formed therein for pivoting against the load beam and is located substantially near the bight. The low stiffness is created from the bight portion and the location of the dimple. The apparatus also prevents the problem of wire overhang, where the wire crashes onto the disc during flying conditions. The apparatus furthermore permits the transducer head slider to move more closely to the hub of the disc, thus allowing the system to read more data.
