Abstract
A load beam for a suspension assembly comprises a liquid crystal polymer layer disposed between and in intimate contact with a first metal layer and a second metal layer, preferably stainless steel. Such load beams have improved dimensional and hygrothermal stability, as well as greater ease of processing over conventional load beams, allowing tailoring of bend and flex properties.
