Abstract:
1. A suspension holder pallet for holding at a preset height a distal end of a suspension attached to an actuator block, and attaching a slider constituting a magnetic head to the distal end of the suspension, the suspension holder pallet comprising: a pallet main body; a lever having a first end which is rotatably mounted on the pallet main body: a shaft which is connected to a second end of the lever; a presser member which is connected to the shaft, thereby pressing a positioning surface of the actuator block against a block reference surface formed in the pallet main body; a movable arm provided in the pallet main body; an insertion member which is formed at a distal end of the movable arm and can be inserted between a plurality of opposing suspensions; and a first contact surface formed on a side in contact with the suspension to which the slider is to be attached, wherein the distal end of the suspension to which the slider is to be attached is held at a prescribed height from the block reference surface through contact of the suspension with the first contact surface, forming a gap between the opposing suspensions.
