Abstract
In a suspension comprising a limiter, the limiter is provided with arm portions. These arm portions project outside to-be-supported portions of a flexure from the opposite sides of the distal end portion of a beam portion, extend ahead of the to-be-supported portions, and face the respective one-side surfaces of the to-be-supported portions, individually. Formed between the arm portions is an aperture that is wide enough to receive a bonding jig. Formed on the respective inside portions of the distal ends of the arm portions are bent portions, which are bent in the thickness direction so as to be directed from the one-side surfaces of the to-be-supported portions toward the other-side surfaces. Opposite portions extend rearward from the respective distal ends of the bent portions, individually. These opposite portions face the respective other-side surfaces of the to-be-supported portions, individually.
