ABSTRACT:
A head suspension for a disk drive has a load beam. The load beam consists of a rigid part and a resilient part that are independent of each other. The head suspension is capable of suppressing impedance variations in a flexure and avoiding air disturbance. The head suspension has a plate attached to a carriage, the load beam having the rigid part and the resilient part, and the flexure attached to the load beam and extended toward the plate. The resilient part of the load beam is made of a resilient material that is independent of the rigid part. A first side of the resilient material is laid on an end of the rigid part and joined thereto. A second side of the resilient material is joined to the plate. The first side of the resilient material is provided with a cut to partly expose the end of the rigid part. The flexure is extended through the cut toward the plate.
