Abstract
A transducer support assembly for supporting at least two transducers in back-to-back relationship, having particular application in a disk drive of the type having a disk or disk pack therein. The support assembly includes a support leg and a pair of flexure elements mounted in common and in back-to-back relationship on and extending outwardly from the support leg. The flexure elements are of substantially the same size and shape and are formed of flexible material, such as stainless steel, or the like. Longitudinal edge members are provided on the opposite edges of each flexure element, these edge members imparting a stiffening to the flexure element and function in a manner similar to load beams. The flexure elements are mounted offset from each other on the support leg such that their central axes are laterally displaced from each other to avoid interference between a longitudinal edge member of one flexure element and a longitudinal edge member of the other.
