ABSTRACT:
An optimized bump and offset along the spring section of a load beam of a head-gimbal assembly ("HGA") in the loaded state redistributes the mass and stiffness distributions of the load beam from a truly flat state, so that the mode shape of the first torsional resonance mode is changed such that the coupling between a drive actuator head arm and the head slider is essentially eliminated. A fabrication method to produce the desired bump and offset, and a characterization method to ascertain that optimized bump and offset parameters have been achieved are also disclosed. By optimizing bump and offset, the slider remains independent from any load beam first torsional vibration even at resonance and/or sway mode resonant frequency of the HGA may be increased.
