ABSTRACT:
A suspension mechanism of a recording disk apparatus has a head slider mounted on a portion of a load beam in the vicinity of the free end of the load beam through a gimbal spring. The gimbal spring has a central leg portion and two side leg portions, all of which are formed in parallel. The head slider is adhered to the top surface of the central leg portion which is lifted from the side leg portions. A protrusion formed on the load beam or on the central leg portion serves to transfer loading force generated by the load beam to the head slider by a universal joint connection. The gimbal spring is mounted on the load beam such that the longitudinal direction of the central leg portion is normal to the seek direction of the head slider.
