Abstract
A load beam adapted for use in a head slider suspension assembly is shown. The load beam has a generally rectangular shape and includes a member for defining a support arm end and a head/slider loading end. The load beam has a torsional vibration mode characteristic which, upon said load beam being excited by a driving force, produces a fundamental mode vibration in the range of about 2000 hertz to about 4000 hertz and higher order mode vibrations above about 6000 hertz. In the preferred embodiment, the load beam has at least one load rail extending substantially perpendicular therefrom. The at least one load rail can be selected to extend from the load beam in a direction the same as or opposite to the direction in which a head/slider assembly is supported from a head/slider loading end of the load beam.
