Patent ID: 8441760

Claim:
A magnetic head suspension comprising a supporting part that is swung around a swing center in a seek direction parallel to a disk surface directly or indirectly by an actuator, a load bending part including paired right and left leaf springs that are connected at proximal portions to the supporting part so as to generate a load for pressing a magnetic head slider toward the disk surface, a load beam part that is supported through the load bending part by the supporting part and transmits the load to the magnetic head slider, and a flexure part that is supported by the load beam part and the supporting part and has at a distal side a head-mounting region for supporting the magnetic head slider, wherein the load beam part includes a plate-like main body portion and paired flange portions, the main body portion facing the disk surface and formed with a dimple that protrudes in a direction toward the disk surface so as to be brought into contact with a rear surface of the head-mounting region that is opposite from a supporting surface at which the magnetic head slider is supported, the paired flange portions being bent from both side edges of the main body portion in a suspension width direction and existing at least in a region that is positioned closer to a distal side in the suspension longitudinal direction than a proximal region that is within 0.22*L 1 from the distal edge of the supporting part provided that a distance in the suspension longitudinal direction between the distal edge and the dimple is represented by L 1 , wherein the load beam part is bent around two bending lines including a first bending line that is along the suspension width direction and is positioned within a center region away from the distal edge of the supporting part by more than or equal to 0.4*L 1 and less than or equal to 0.6*L 1 and a second bending line that is along the suspension width direction and is positioned closer to a proximal side in the suspension longitudinal direction than the first bending line, wherein the paired leaf springs are bent around a third bending line that is along the suspension width direction and is positioned between proximal edges connected to the supporting part and distal edges connected to the load beam part, and wherein the second bending line is positioned within the proximal region of the load beam part, and the paired flange portions does not exist at an area at which the second bending line is positioned.
