ABSTRACT:
A gimbal assembly of a magnetic head suspension includes a flexure having a dimple. A slider carrying a magnetic transducer is attached to the flexure and in contact with the dimple. The flexure has a polygon shape with cutouts defining a plurality of internal and external strut members. Each strut member is elongated in shape with a substantial uniform width. The flexure has a wider midsection than its end sections. When the slider flies above the disk surface over a thin air film, pivoting against the dimple, the flexure provides sufficient agility for the slider to accommodate the uneven topology of the disk surface, yet the flexure is enough stiff to resist any physical deformation that could be caused by the rapid movements of the actuator arm carrying the gimbal assembly.
