Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9636044A1] An improved suspension for supporting a read/write head adjacent to a relatively moving storage medium in a disk drive is disclosed. The suspension (40) is mounted to an in-line rotary actuator arm and includes a reduced width, side rail (48), load beam (44) having a vented region (49). The suspension exhibits improved modal performance, particularly with respect to the torsional modes of operation.
