Abstract
An assembly for supporting a magnetic head to float relative to a magnetic disk, comprises a load arm extending substantially tangentially of a magnetic disk and moved substantially radially of the magnetic disk, the load arm having a proximal end, and a distal end and including a spring portion at its proximal end, a gimbal secured to the distal end of the load arm and including a pivot, the load arm including a contact point at its distal end to contact with the pivot, and a magnetic head slider secured to the gimbal so as to pitch and roll about the pivot with movement of the magnetic disk. The magnetic head slider is adapted to support a magnetic head and is urged toward the magnetic disk under the influence of the spring portion of the load arm. The load arm has a shear center at the contact point.
