ABSTRACT:
A magnetic head arm suspension assembly which supports air bearing head sliders and magnetic transducers comprises a rigid load beam coupled to a box-like arm through a spring element which has flexible legs. The load beam is seated in a recess in the arm, so that the centerlines of the load beam and of the spring are coincident. In this manner, the sliders and magnetic transducers, which are mounted to the suspension assembly, are loaded in a direction perpendicular to the planar surface of a moving storage medium and maintained in a parallel plane relative to the planar surface of the medium.
