Abstract
An improved disk drive suspension in which the load beam rail section is of reduced length, the base portion, defined by an extended mounting plate, increased in length, and the spring portion therebetween increased in length. The load beam rail section is laminated with a flexure substantially as wide as the rail section providing a very rigid structure. The centers of gravity of the load beam and flexure are closely approximate such that their reaction moment under shock is small, limiting the 2 bending mode reaction of the load beam in favor of the 1 bending mode reaction, so that the slider carried by the load beam and flexure is kept flat to the disk against damaging the disk upon recontact.
