Abstract
A method of manufacturing a head suspension includes a punching process, a positioning process, and an affixing process. An objective part on the head suspension to which a damperis affixed includes a discontinuous section. The punching process punches a damper material into the damperwhose shape corresponds to the shape of the objective part excluding the discontinuous section. The positioning process positions the damperto the objective part so that the damperavoids and surrounds the discontinuous section, and the affixing process affixes the damperto the objective part. The method secures a uniform damping effect among manufactured head suspensions and improves the yield of dampers and head suspensions without deteriorating the functions and performances of the head suspensions.
