Abstract
Unduly large travel of a flexure resulting in overflexure or the permanent loss of dimple contact between flexure and load beam in a disk drive suspension is blocked by having the flexure and load beam loosely coupled by a blocking structure which freely permits desired movement, within a predetermined range, but blocks other movement, by defining a gap between flexure and load beam equal to or less than the maximum tolerable amount of travel against movement beyond the predetermined range.
