Abstract
A suspension for a head slider includes a load beam. A base material of the load beam is covered with first and second elastic films extending on the front and back surfaces of the base material. The second elastic film is continuous with the first elastic film. The suspension is exposed to a high speed airflow. Vibrations induced through torsional deformation and/or flexural deformation are induced in response to the influence of the high speed airflow. Since the front and back surfaces of the load beam are covered with the first and second elastic films, the resonance to the vibrations induced through torsional deformation and/or flexural deformation can be attenuated based on damping performance of the first and second elastic films. The load beam is reliably prevented from suffering from vibrations based on torsional deformation and/or flexural deformation.
