ABSTRACT:
A carriage includes a slider on which a magnetic head for reading/writing information from/to a disk is mounted, a suspension for carrying the slider and for applying a predetermined load to the slider, a carriage arm to which the suspension is attached, and a body section to which the carriage arm is connected. The carriage arm includes a suspension fixing portion, as arm arranged substantially in parallel with a disk surface, and a restricting member which is a thin-plate-like member having a surface which is opposite to the plane of arm which is parallel to the disk surface. The restricting member and the arm are coupled via a viscoelastic body.
