Abstract:
A suspension for a disc drive having a load beam, and a flexure fixed at a predetermined position of the load beam, said suspension for the disc drive comprising:a first reference hole which is formed in the vicinity of one end of said load beam and into which a first positioning pin is inserted; a first spring portion which is formed in a part of the load beam including an inner peripheral edge of said first reference hole and which abuts on said first positioning pin with elastic deformation to urge the load beam in an axial direction thereof; a second reference hole which is formed in the vicinity of the other end of said load beam and into which a second positioning pin is inserted; a second spring portion which is formed in a part of the load beam including an inner peripheral edge of said second reference hole and which abuts on said second positioning pin with the elastic deformation to urge the load beam in the axial direction thereof; a third reference hole which is formed in the vicinity of one end of said flexure and into which said first positioning pin is inserted; a third spring portion which is formed in a part of the flexure including an inner peripheral edge of said third reference hole and which abuts on said first positioning pin with elastic deformation to urge the flexure in an axial direction thereof; a fourth reference hole which is formed in the vicinity of the other end of said flexure and into which said second positioning pin is inserted; and a fourth spring portion which is formed in a part of the flexure including an inner peripheral edge of said fourth reference hole and which abuts on said second positioning pin with the elastic deformation to urge the flexure in the axial direction thereof.
