Abstract:
1. A head gimbal assembly, comprising: a suspension board with circuit; a pair of piezoelectric elements mounted on the suspension board with circuit to be expandable/contractible; and a slider on which a magnetic head is mounted and which is mounted on the suspension board with circuit and configured to be able to swing with expansion/contraction of the pair of piezoelectric elements, wherein the pair of piezoelectric elements are placed on the suspension board with circuit such that a first imaginary line extending along an expanding/contracting direction of one of the piezoelectric elements crosses a second imaginary line extending along an expanding/contracting direction of the other piezoelectric element, and wherein the slider is located on a bisector of an angle formed between a first line segment extending from a point of intersection of the first and second imaginary lines to the one of the piezoelectric elements and a second line segment extending from the point of intersection to the other piezoelectric element.
