Abstract: A magnetic head assembly that lessens undesired or harmful vibration is provided. A gimbal 2 of a magnetic head assembly 1 has an outskirt part 4, an intermediate part 7, and an inland part 10. The intermediate part 7 is arranged inside the outskirt part 4 with first aperture segments 5a and 5b therebetween, and is connected to the outskirt part 4 via first bridges 6a and 6b. The inland part 10 is arranged inside the intermediate part 7 and connected thereto via second bridges 9a and 9b and second damping parts 12a and 12b. The second bridges 9a and 9b and the second damping parts 12a and 12b act so as to modify the resonant frequency of the inland part 10. Additional damping parts may be provided.

Abstract: The second inner wall 30b and the fourth inner wall 30d of the hole 5 of the slider 4 comprises the second and the fourth projections 31b and 31d, and the first inner wall 30a is not provided with a projection and is inclined to the vertical surface 50 at an angle &thgr;. The raising portions of the second projection 31b and the fourth projection 31d is made in the radius curvature portion 51. Since, at the time of insertion of the front core 8 into the hole 5, side portion 8e of the front core 8 abuts to the first inner wall 30a at one line, the front core 8 is positioned precisely by the pushing force of the front core 8 in the A direction, and by application of a provisional adhesive to near B portion and near fourth projection 31d.
