Abstract
A magnetic head slider suspension assembly for loading a head slider having air bearing surface onto the surface of a magnetic rotating disc is shown. The magnetic head slider suspension assembly includes an elongated slider arm adapted to be attached to an arm mounting support. The elongated slider arm includes a deflectable central arm section or load beam having a support end at one end thereof operatively attached to the arm mounting support and a head/slider loading end located at the other end thereof. The central arm section is generally rectangular in shape and has a predetermined width at the support end and a width which may be equal to or less than the predetermined width at the head/slider loading end. The central arm section has at least one raised load rail extending substantially perpendicular therefrom and in the same direction as that of a head slider operatively attached to the head/slider loading end. The height of the load rails which extend between a first rail end and a second rail end can be uniform in height or could vary in height by a use of a continuously tapered outer edge of the spaced load rails, or by use of a stepped outer edge, or a combination thereof. A microminimonolithic having a slider body and a 'C' shaped core is operatively attached to the head/slider loading end of the magnetic head slider suspension assembly.
