Abstract
An apparatus for fixing a suspension to an actuator arm has a mounting portion. The mounting portion has a first hole for fixing the suspension and a second hole for injecting an adhesive. The second hole is substantially perpendicular to the first hole and communicates with the first hole. A spacer having a cylindrical projection having an outer diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the first hole is spot-welded to a base end portion of the suspension. The cylindrical projection of the spacer fixed to the suspension is inserted into the first hole of the mounting portion of the actuator arm, and the adhesive is next injected through the second hole into the first hole, thereby fixing the suspension to the mounting portion of the actuator arm by means of the adhesive injected.
