ABSTRACT:
A suspension assembly for use with a disk drive having a disk and a slider. The suspension assembly includes a gimbal for receiving the slider. The suspension assembly further includes a shape memory actuator coupled to the gimbal. The shape memory actuator is formed of a shape memory metal material configured to deform in response to a dc input for selectively moving the slider towards and away from the disk.
