ABSTRACT:
A suspension assembly elastically biasing a slider toward a surface of a disk, in which a read/write head is mounted on the slider. In the suspension assembly, a load beam is coupled to a first portion of a swing arm of the actuator. A flexure supports the slider and has a first end portion fixed to a disk facing surface of the load beam and a second end portion extended toward a first end portion of the load beam. An end-tab is extended from the first end portion of the load beam. When the head is parked, the end-tab is supported by a ramp, which is arranged at an outside of the disk.
