  • Magnetic head gimbal having two degrees of fredom with localized torsion and bending for respective degrees of freedom
    Patent number: 5452158
    Abstract: A gimbal embodying the present invention couples the magnetic head to the load beam through torsion fingers which twist to permit rotational motion of the head in one degree of freedom (e.g., pitch or roll) and bending arms which bend to permit rotational motion of the head in the other degree of freedom. Lateral separation of localized bending regions of the arms, and a dimple, serve to prevent motion of the head in other rotational and translational degrees of freedom.
