Abstract
There is provided a magnetic head suspension including: a flexure portion which has a magnetic head mount area for supporting a magnetic head slider; a load bend portion which generates a load for pressing the magnetic head slider to a storage surface of a storage medium; a load beam portion which transmits the load to the magnetic head mount area; and a base portion which supports a base end region of the load bend portion. The load beam portion integrally includes a body in which at least a tip end portion thereof extends along a first plane approximately in parallel with the storage surface of the storage medium, and a lift tab extending forward from the tip end portion. The lift tab includes an engaging portion extending along a second plane which is approximately in parallel with the first plane and is positioned upper than the first plane so as to be spaced apart from the storage surface of the storage medium, and an inclined portion extending between the tip end portion of the body and the engaging portion. The load beam portion further includes a pair of flanges on both side edges in a width direction. The pair of side edges are positioned at least over the tip end portion and the inclined portion.
