Abstract
A suspension assembly having a load beam that includes a lower surface, proximal end terminating in a hinge, a distal end, and a sag bend between the proximal end and the distal end. A base plate includes a distal end connected to the hinge. A gimbal includes a base portion that includes middle struts where proximal ends of the middle struts are welded to the load beam at locations adjacent the sag bend, and a distal end welded to the distal end of the load beam. When the middle struts are positioned in a neutral position, a gap G between an upper surface of the middle struts and a plane defined by the lower surface of the load beam does not exceed 10 μm for any point along the middle struts that are within a distance D of 0.5 mm from the sag bend.
