Patent ID: 8675312

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 that has a proximal end portion connected to the supporting part and generates a pressing load for pressing a magnetic head slider toward the disk surface, a load beam part that has a proximal end portion supported through the load bending part by the supporting part and transmits the pressing load to the magnetic head slider through a dimple provided at a distal side thereof, and a flexure part that is fixed to the load beam part and the supporting part while supporting the magnetic head slider, wherein the load beam part has a plate-like main body portion that is disposed substantially parallel to the disk surface, wherein flexure part has a plate-like flexure base plate that is disposed substantially parallel to the disk surface, wherein the flexure base plate includes a load beam part fixed region that is fixed to a disk-facing surface of the main body portion, wherein the load beam part fixed region and the main body portion are fixed to each other by spot welding at plural load beam part welding points, and wherein assuming that a length in the suspension longitudinal direction between a distal edge of the supporting part and the dimple is represented by “L”, the plural load beam part welding points include paired right and left main welding points that are arranged symmetrically to each other with respect to the suspension longitudinal center line and that are disposed within a center region away from the distal edge of the supporting part by more than or equal to 0.4*L and less than or equal to 0.6*L.
