Abstract
An elastic plate that is supported at both ends by a pair of supporting pieces of a supporting part functions as the load bending part. A portion of a load beam base plate that is positioned on a distal end side from a load bending center line of the elastic plate includes a parallel region that is fixed to the elastic plate, an intermediate region that extends to a distal end side through a proximal-side bending line along a suspension widthwise direction, and a distal region that extends to a distal end side through a distal-side bending line and is formed with a dimple with which a head-mounting region of a flexure part is brought into contact. The distal-side bending line is positioned in the vicinity of an intermediate point between the load bending center line and the dimple in a suspension lengthwise direction.
