Abstract
A magnetic disk apparatus has a plurality of spacers for connecting to a pivot shaft one ends of suspension arms for supporting sliders such that the suspension arms are separated from each other. Each spacer has a first section engaged with the pivot shaft, a second section connected to a suspension arm and a through-hole extending through the two sections. The first section of the spacer is deformed to frictionally grip the pivot shaft. The spacer is provided with a weakened section for preventing the deformation of the first section from being propagated to the second section.
