ABSTRACT:
A disk drive suspension including a load beam having a rigid region, a base on a proximal end of the load beam and a flexure for receiving and supporting a read/write head on the distal end of the load beam. A microactuator on the load beam moves the flexure and read/write head about a tracking axis with respect to the rigid region. The microactuator includes a moving pole member mounted to the flexure, a stationary pole member mounted to the rigid region of the load beam adjacent to the moving pole, and coils around the stationary pole member.
