  • Patent number: 4853811
    Abstract: The magnetic data storage system includes a magnetic transducer head-suspension assembly with an inline suspension slider with a reduced height leading portion that provides for gimballed connection to the suspension load beam and a full height rear portion that enables the use of the increased height portion for the transducer coil windings. The suspension includes a single piece combined gram form and load beam with the entire head-suspension assembly being contained within the height of the slider full height portion to enable minimization of the head-suspension overall height required in magnetic disk drives with closely spaced disks and back to back transducer heads or minimum height head-suspension assemblies that extend between disk surfaces.
