Abstract
Disk drive suspension having a base portion, a spring portion and elongated beam portion mounting a flexure. The spring portion is reticulated throughout substantially its entire extent in a manner to decrease the vertical stiffness of the suspension while increasing its sway mode resonance. The beam portion is stiffened with a series of shallow etchings or through apertures located between ribs emanating from the center of the beam portion.
