Abstract:
1. A HDD suspension, comprising: a loadbeam having an upper surface and a lower surface, said lower surface having a distally located region of affixation to which is affixed a gimbal mounted slider and said loadbeam further including a dimple projecting downward from said lower surface, said dimple being distal to said region of affixation; and said loadbeam having a locally stiffened region formed by the aftachment of a stiffening member to said upper surface of said loadbeam at a position between said dimple and said region of gimbal affixation; whereby, subsequent to an HDI interaction between said slider and a disk rotating beneath said slider, whereby there is a reduction in the adverse effects of slider vibrational modes produced by dynamic coupling between said slider and said loadbeam.
