ABSTRACT:
A head suspension is comprised of a read/write transducer head carrying region supported from a support region of the head suspension by a compliant area of the head suspension. The compliant area permits the head carrying region to move freely relative to the support region when in use in a rotary data storage device. Tethers of low stiffness material are connected between the head suspension head carrying region and support region. The tethers restrain the movement of the head carrying region relative to the support region to a limited range of movement and thereby reduce the probability of the head suspension slider and/or transducer head and the surface of the disk in the rotary data storage device in which the head suspension is employed from being damaged by otherwise unrestrained movement of the head carrying region of the head suspension resulting from a shock or jarring impact on the rotary data storage device.
