Patent ID: 7440216

Claim:
A disk drive suspension, comprising: a load beam having a rigid body, a proximal and a distal end, a spring region between the proximal end and the rigid body and a connection region between the rigid body and the distal end; a flexure on the load beam, which is configured for receiving and supporting a read/write head; and a microactuator comprising a plurality of symmetrically opposed arms, each of said plurality of symmetrically opposed arms including a generally annular portion and a generally straight portion, on the connection region of the load beam, wherein the symmetrically opposed arms are bounded together by a first connection body located near and directly attached to the generally straight portion of the symmetrically opposed arms and a second connection body located near and directly attached to the generally annular portion of the symmetrically opposed arms, the microactuator responsive to tracking control signals for moving the distal end of load beam with said flexure and read/write head along a tracking axis with respect to the rigid body.
