Abstract:
A dual stage actuated suspension has a first piezoelectric microactuator on the trace gimbal assembly (TGA), and a pseudo feature located laterally opposite the microactuator. The pseudo feature is formed integrally with the TGA from at least one of the base metal layer, the insulative layer, and the conductive layer that make up the TGA. The pseudo feature helps to balance the suspension. The suspension can optionally have a second microactuator located proximal of the first microactuator in order to perform coarser positioning than the first microactuator, such that the suspension is a tri-stage actuated suspension.

Claim (Index 8):
A dual stage actuated disk drive suspension comprising:\n a beam; a trace gimbal assembly (TGA) attached to the beam, the TGA comprising:\n a metal base layer; \n an insulating layer on the metal base layer; and \n a conductive layer on the insulating layer; \n the TGA including a flexure gimbal for carrying a head slider, and an electrical circuit comprising electrical traces formed of the conductive layer on the insulating layer for carrying electrical signals to and from the head slider; a piezoelectric device disposed on the flexure gimbal on a first lateral side of a central longitudinal axis of the suspension; and a pseudo feature disposed on a second and opposite lateral side of the central longitudinal axis and in generally mirror relation to the microactuator, and having a mass that is within 30% of a combined mass of the piezoelectric device and adhesive attached thereto, the pseudo feature comprising at least one of the metal base layer, the insulating layer, and the conductive layer, and being integrally formed with the trace gimbal assembly.
