ABSTRACT:
A magnetic head supporting mechanism capable of providing a satisfactory state of contact between the magnetic heads and the magnetic disk, while maintaining individual parts in good condition. The mechanism includes a gimbal for supporting each magnetic head on the carriage, including a head fixing portion on which one of the magnetic head is mounted; double thin plates surrounding the head fixing portion; a carriage fixing portion attached to the carriage; and a plurality of bridge connections connecting the head fixing portion, the double thin plates, and the carriage fixing portion together, such that the spring constant in a direction around the rolling axis is larger than the spring constant in a direction around the pitching axis. The mechanism may also include a gimbal including at least one portion of octagonal shape.
