Patent ID: 7706105

Claim:
A suspension assembly of an actuator of a hard disk drive, comprising: a load beam having a dimple; a slider that carries the read/write head of the hard disk drive; a bracket having a flexure, a rear end at which the bracket is fixed to the load beam and from which the bracket extends forward in the longitudinal direction of the load beam, a first surface that is normally in contact with the dimple, and a second surface opposite the first surface and which supports the slider; and a limiting mechanism operative to selectively attach and detach the load beam and the bracket to and from each other at a location spaced forward from the rear end of the bracket in the longitudinal direction of the load beam, whereby the limiting mechanism can attach the load beam and the bracket to each other to suppress wobbling of the slider when the read/write head carried by the slider is unloaded from a disk of the hard drive, and the limiting mechanism can detach the load beam and the bracket from one another to allow the slider pitch and roll more freely about the dimple when the read/write head carried by the slider is loaded on the disk.
