Patent ID: 8630067

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a head suspension having a piezoelectric element that deforms in response to a voltage applied thereto, a base having an attaching part for attaching the piezoelectric element, the attaching part including a support on which the piezoelectric element is mounted through adhesives, and a load beam that is fixed to the base so that a front end of the load beam moves in a sway direction according to the deformation of the piezoelectric element, the method comprising: applying an electrically insulative adhesive onto the support of the attaching part from above in a mounting direction of the piezoelectric element and hardening the applied insulative adhesive, thereby forming an insulative adhesive layer on the support; applying a fixing adhesive onto the insulating adhesive layer from above in the mounting direction; and bringing the piezoelectric element into contact with the applied fixing adhesive from above in the mounting direction to fix the piezoelectric element to the support.
