ABSTRACT:
A disk drive suspension for mounting to the end of an actuator arm. The suspension includes a load beam having a rigid region, a proximal end, a flexure for receiving and supporting a read/write head on a distal end of the load beam, and a linkage for movably coupling the flexure to the proximal end of the load beam. A microactuator is located on the load beam and includes spaced first and second coil assemblies which undergo displacement perpendicular to the plane of the load beam in response to tracking control signals. The linkage translates the vertical displacement of the coil assemblies into displacement of the distal end of the load beam including the flexure along a transverse tracking axis.
