ABSTRACT:
A magnetic head actuator for a magnetic recording disk drive, comprising a micro-actuator which is provided at a tip end portion of a load beam attached to an arm of a voice coil motor and which is for oscillating a magnetic head slider, wherein one end of the micro-actuator is fixed to a stator portion fixed to the load beam, a gimbal portion and a rotor portion oscillatably supported by metallic micro-beams formed by bending are provided on the side of the other end of the micro-actuator, the magnetic head slider is attached to the gimbal portion, either one of a permanent magnet and a coil is disposed at the stator portion, the other of the permanent magnet and the coil is disposed at the rotor portion, and the rotor portion and the magnetic head slider attached to the gimbal portion as one body with the rotor portion are oscillated by passing an electric current to the coil in a magnetic field formed by the permanent magnet.
