Abstract: A slider supporting apparatus of includes a base portion; a flexure supported by the base portion; a contact portion being provided on a leading portion of the flexure for urging a trailing edge of the slider to contact with pads on the trailing edge; a support plate attached beneath a tongue; and a clamp comprising a mounting portion fixed on the support plate, two spring arms downward extended from the mounting portion to pass through a hole of the flexure slantwise, and a connection bar connected with two ends of the spring arms for urging a leading edge of the slider to provide a downward component force to the slider. The apparatus provides a larger spring stroke with long lifetime to reduce cost, and avoid pitch and roll static torque to generate so as to prevent the slider popping out the suspension during slider testing process.
