ABSTRACT:
An object of the invention is to provide a write/read head supporting mechanism for a magnetic disk system or optical disk system having a microactuator for effecting a micro-displacement of a slider, wherein any electrostatic breakdown of an electromagnetic transducer element or an optical module is prevented without detriment to the displacement capability of the microactuator. The write/read head supporting mechanism of the invention comprises a slider2provided with an electromagnetic transducer element or an optical module, and a suspension3. The slider2is supported on the suspension3by way of a microactuator4for displacing the slider2. A ground region that the suspension3has is electrically connected to the slider2by way of an electrical connecting member8movable and/or deformable in the displacement direction of the slider2by the microactuator4.
