Abstract
A method producing a limiter and flexure configuration that includes a flexure that has a first section attached to the load beam, and a second section defining a slider mounting section and a frame that defines an aperture into which the slide mounting section extends in a direction towards the first section, and terminating in an end that interacts with the free end of the limiter. The aperture is sized and positioned to provide a clearance allowing the limiter to freely move through the aperture such that the limiter is free to be bent from the first position to the second position and to extend through the aperture after the flexure assembly has been attached to the load beam. The limiter is bent from the first position to the second position, extending through the aperture, after the flexure assembly has been attached to the load beam.
