Abstract
A suspension assembly includes a load beam, a base plate connected to the load beam, and a single actuator disposed in an opening of the base plate. The single actuator is formed of a crystal material that expands along a first axis and contracts along a second orthogonal axis, and expands along the second axis and contracts along the first axis in response to respective first and second bias voltages. The single actuator is configured to flex the base plate when expanding along the first axis to rotate the load beam in a first rotational direction about a center of rotation located along the load beam, and flex the base plate when expanding along the second axis to rotate the load beam in a second, opposite rotational direction about the center of rotation.
