ABSTRACT:
A head suspension load beam including a beam region and a headlift formed by etching from a laminated sheet of material having first and second stainless steel layers separated by a polyimide layer. The beam region includes a base portion formed from the first stainless steel layer and a stiffener portion formed from the second stainless steel layer. The headlift extends from the beam region and includes an offset region and a concave tab. The offset region is formed from the first and second stainless steel layers and the polyimide layer. The tab extends from the offset region and is formed from only the second stainless steel layer.
