ABSTRACT:
A gimbal for supporting a hydrodynamic air bearing slider over recording medium including a gimbal body having generally co-planar side edges meeting at gimbal corners. Tabs positioned at the gimbal corners are bent out of plane with respect to the side edges. Each tab includes an aperture for accepting a corner of the slider. Each tab has a spring tension providing an inward force on the slider to thereby secure the gimbal to the slider.
