Popis: This paper presents results related to the design, fabrication and static/dynamic testing of a silicon micromachined integrated suspension system. This novel magnetic read/write head suspension with its built-in electrodes has been developed especially for automated assembly with miniaturized slider bearings. The one-piece construction silicon microgimbal and the polyimide-reinforced silicon load-beam are designed to have minimum profile, maximum pitch and roll compliances, maximum in-plane stiffness and maximum shock resistance, all of which are important operational requirements for the emerging small-form-factor magnetic recording rigid disk drive market.
