SUSPENSION, HEAD GIMBALS ASSEMBLY, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING HEAD GIMBALS ASSEMBLY, STORAGE APPARATUS, AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING HEAD GIMBALS ASSEMBLY

摘要

This head gimbals assembly has a head slider, a flexure, and a load beam. The head slider has a head element and slider-side connection terminals. The flexure has a free end, a fixed end, a slider mounting portion and suspension-side connection terminals connected to the slider-side connection terminals. The load beam fixes a fixed end of the flexure on the side opposite to a flexure surface on which the head slider is mounted a connecting portion for interconnecting the suspension-side connection terminals and the slider mounting portion has higher resiliency than other portion of the connecting portion. According to a suspension in the present embodiment, a head gimbals assembly can be easily manufactured without wastefully discarding the suspension even when the desired evaluation result is not obtained because of problems in the head characteristics and the floating surface of the head slider.
