ABSTRACT:
A head suspension for supporting a read/write head adjacent a rotating data storage device is constructed with outriggers that enhance its lateral stiffness. The outriggers are formed integrally with the head suspension load region and support region and are laterally spaced on opposite sides of the spring region. By passing over the spring region in connecting the opposite lateral sides of the load region to the support region of the head suspension, the outriggers increase the lateral stiffness and sway frequency of the head suspension without appreciably affecting the spring rate or appreciably increasing the weight of the head suspension.
