Patent ID: 7538983

Claim:
A recording head for use in a magnetic storage device having a rotating magnetic medium, comprising: a slider body attached to a head gimbal assembly, the slider body defining a first cavity; a wafer assembly positioned in the first cavity, the wafer assembly including a first segment having portions of a motor, and a second segment at least partially defining a second cavity, the second segment further including a plurality of flexure assemblies, each flexure assembly comprising a plurality of resilient flexure beams that deform when acted upon by a force provided by the motor, wherein the motor includes: first and second magnetic flux sources positioned on the first segment; and first and second closure bars positioned on the second segment proximate the first and second magnetic flux sources, the first and second closure bars each including a magnetic portion that provides an attractive force between the respective closure bar and magnetic flux source, wherein each magnetic portion is composed of a hard magnetic material; and a transducer body including a transducer, the transducer body at least partially positioned in the second cavity of the second segment such that deformation of the flexure beams causes the transducer to be moved in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction with respect to both the slider body and a surface of a magnetic medium.
