ABSTRACT:
A one-piece flexure assembly, formed of a single piece of planar material, for mounting a magnetic head in a disc drive, which includes a load point button formed in a desired shape at a desired location by partially etching away that portion of the material surrounding the desired shape and location. In a preferred embodiment, the flexure includes an elongated load beam, a first tab integral with the load beam and including the load point button, a second tab, also integral with the load beam and forming a mounting surface for the head and a pair of laterally placed longitudinally extending partially etched gimbal beams connecting the two tabs.
