Patent ID: 7256968

Claim:
A head suspension for supporting a head slider over a disk in a dynamic storage device and providing precise movement of the head slider relative to tracks on the disk, the head suspension comprising: a load beam; a flexure having a slider mounting region; a dimple interface for transmitting a load beam force to the slider mounting region; and a microactuator mounted directly to the load beam, with movement of the microactuator transmitted through the dimple interface by action of frictional forces at the dimple interface so as to cause movement of the slider mounting region transverse to tracks on the disk wherein the load beam comprises first and second sides, with the microactuator mounted to the first side, and the slider mounting region comprises a slider side and a non-slider side with the head slider attached on the slider side, and wherein the non-slider side of the slider mounting region contacts the second side of the load beam at the dimple interface.
