ABSTRACT:
A visual head alignment reference feature for determining the correct alignment of the slider body of a head relative to the load point of the gimbal which forms a portion of a hard disc drive head/flexure assembly. The head alignment reference feature includes laterally and longitudinally extending edges whose lengths define the allowable range of variation in slider placement along the respective axes. In a preferred embodiment, a laterally opposed pair of reference features are located on both lateral sides of the gimbal, enabling skew misalignment of the slider relative to the gimbal to be detected.
