Patent ID: 8717713

Claim:
A dual stage actuated disk drive head suspension including: first and second portions connected by a linkage; at least one PZT motor having first and second opposite sides, first and second electrodes on the first and second sides respectively, first and second terminals on the first side, and an electrical contact extending from the second electrode on the second side to the second terminal on the first side, the motor mounted to the first and second portions; a flexure having at least first and second differential drive signal traces electrically connected to the first and second electrodes on the PZT motor, to couple differential electrical drive signals to the PZT motor, wherein the first and second drive signal traces include terminals, the first side of the PZT motor faces the flexure, and the PZT motor drives the first and second portions of the suspension with respect to one another in response to the drive signals; and shelves extending from the first and second portions, the PZT motor mounted to the shelves, wherein the terminals of the drive signal traces are respectively electrically connected to the first and second terminals of the PZT motor.
