ABSTRACT:
A suspension for supporting a transducer in a data storage system includes a longitudinal axis, a proximal mounting section, and first and second opposing side edges. The suspension includes a rigid load beam section that extends longitudinally along the longitudinal axis. A flexible section is located between the proximal mounting section and the rigid load beam section. The flexible section has a preload bend transverse the longitudinal axis and a peak strain region located between the preload bend and the rigid load beam section. A damper covers a portion of the peak strain region.
