Patent ID: 8295012

Claim:
A head gimbal assembly (HGA) comprising: a suspension assembly, the suspension assembly including a suspension assembly mounting plate; a load beam extending from the suspension assembly mounting plate and defining a load beam longitudinal axis; a laminated flexure attached to the load beam, the laminated flexure including a head mounting tongue, and a rotary fine actuator attached to the head mounting tongue, the rotary fine actuator comprising a fixed portion having a first bonding surface, a head mounting platform having a second bonding surface, a first piezoelectric element defining a first element longitudinal axis that is parallel to the load beam longitudinal axis, the first piezoelectric element being bonded to the first and second bonding surfaces; a second piezoelectric element extending between the fixed portion and the head mounting platform; first and second curved compliant members extending between the fixed portion and the head mounting platform; and a read head bonded to a mounting surface of the head mounting platform, the first and second bonding surfaces being parallel to the mounting surface, the read head being disposed between the first and second piezoelectric elements.
