ABSTRACT:
A head slider supporting mechanism for supporting a head slider to float on a surface of a magnetic disk when the magnetic disk is rotating. The head slider supporting mechanism includes a rigid arm block and a suspension element secured to the rigid arm block at its fixed end, the suspension element having a resilient spring section adjacent the fixed end and a rigid load beam section adjacent a free end thereof so as to apply a loading force at the free end. A gimbal spring symmetric with a symmetric axis is secured to the free end of the suspension element, the gimbal spring mounting the head slider to enable the head slider to move in rolling and pitching directions. The end slider is mounted on the gimbal spring such that its longitudinal axis is inclined relative to the symmetric axis of the gimbal spring by an angle ranging from more than 10.degree. but less than 80.degree..
