Abstract
In a system and method for adjusting a static torque on a slider in a head-gimbal assembly, a substantially rigid mass is placed on an air-bearing surface (ABS) of a slider. A static attitude of the slider is measured, and an adjustment location and intensity for a flexure to yield a zero slider static attitude are calculated. The flexure is adjusted based on the measurement and calculations.
