MANUFACTURING METHOD OF HEAD GIMBAL ASSEMBLY, MANUFACTURING METHOD OF FLEXURE CONSTITUTING HEAD GIMBAL ASSEMBLY, AND FLEXURE SHEET USED FOR MANUFACTURING OF HEAD GIMBAL ASSEMBLY AND FLEXURE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance accuracy of commonality in respective operation performances of a pair of piezoelectric elements, and to make the piezoelectric elements maintain the same operation performance.;SOLUTION: When manufacturing a head gimbal assembly (HGA) 1, at first, in a flexure manufacturing step, a pair of piezoelectric element parts are bonded to the surface of a base insulation layer on a flexure substrate, and a flexure 6 of a structure with piezoelectric elements is manufactured; next, in a suspension manufacturing step, the flexure 6 is connected to a load beam 3 and a base plate 2, and thereby a suspension 50 is manufactured; and then, in a slider attachment step, a head slider 60 is attached to the suspension 50. Consequently, the HGA 1 can be manufactured.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT
