ABSTRACT:
A suspension for a read/write head of a disk drive is fixed to a side wall of an arm. If two heads are to be suspended, a first suspension for one head and a second suspension for the other head are fixed to opposite side walls of the arm. Since the suspension is fixed to the side wall of the arm, there are no screw heads protruding or projections formed by hot staking on the top and the bottom surfaces of the arm and it is not necessary to make screw holes which extend from the top surface or the bottom surface into the arm perpendicularly to these surfaces. Thus, the vertical thickness of the head carriage assembly can be decreased.
