Patent ID: 7453669

Claim:
A suspension assembly of an actuator for a disk drive, which elastically biases a slider toward a surface of a disk, a read/write head being mounted on the slider, the suspension assembly comprising: a load beam coupled to a first portion of a swing arm of the actuator; a flexure that supports the slider, the flexure having a first end portion fixed to a disk facing surface of the load beam and a second end portion extended toward a first end portion of the load beam; and an end-tab extended from the first end portion of the load beam, the end-tab being supported by a ramp arranged in an outside of the disk when the head is parked, wherein the end-tab is deflected from a longitudinal central axis of the load beam toward the outside of the disk and extends from the first end portion of the load beam while having an inner periphery and an outer periphery both being curved in a shape of a bow toward the outside of the disk, thereby increasing both vertical and horizontal stiffness of the end-tab.
