Patent ID: 7280319

Claim:
A suspension assembly for use with a disk drive, the suspension assembly comprising: a load beam; a mount plate; a first piezoelectric microactuator disposed between the load beam and the mount plate for pivoting the load beam relative to the mount plate, the first piezoelectric microactuator being electrically non-conductively attached to the load beam and the mount plate for electrically isolating the first piezoelectric microactuator from the load beam and the mount plate, the first piezoelectric microactuator including a first piezoelectric element, a first top electrode disposed upon the first piezoelectric element, and a first bottom electrode disposed upon the first piezoelectric element opposite the first top electrode; a second piezoelectric microactuator disposed between the load beam and the mount plate for pivoting the load beam relative to the mount plate, the second piezoelectric microactuator being electrically non-conductively attached to the load beam and the mount plate for electrically isolating the second piezoelectric microactuator from the load beam and the mount plate, the second piezoelectric microactuator including a second piezoelectric element, a second top electrode disposed upon the second piezoelectric element, and a second bottom electrode disposed upon the second piezoelectric element opposite the second top electrode; and the first and second piezoelectric microactuators being at least partially enclosed by a folded flex circuit segment, the flex circuit segment being in electrical communication with the first top electrode, the first bottom electrode, the second top electrode, and the second bottom electrode.
