Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a head suspension, which can be assembled without damaging the head element. In the head suspension, a rigid section holds a head slider which writes data on and reads data from a disk. The rigid section is capable of bearing an external force whose direction is perpendicular to a recording face of the disk. A spring section has elasticity in the direction perpendicular to the recording face of the disk. An anti-vibration member is provided in the spring section, the anti-vibration member partially has a vacant space. With this structure, change of elastic pressure of the head suspension can be maintained within a proper range, transmitting the vibration to the head slider can be restricted, and the head slider can be floated stably.
