Abstract: A load beam includes a pair of flange bending parts including first bending parts, and a second bending part extending in a width direction. A first cross-section part extends in the width direction of the load beam passing through welding parts. The first cross-section part is warped up toward the flange parts. A second cross-section part extends in the width direction passing through a different position from that of the welding parts. The second cross-section part has a lesser height difference as compared to the first cross-section part. A die is used when bending the second bending part. The die includes a first relief part including a first inclined surface and a second relief part including a second inclined surface in both sides of the supporting surface.

Abstract: A disk drive suspension of the embodiments includes a load beam, and a flexure including a mounting portion on which a slider is mounted and overlapping with the load beam. The load beam includes a tab further extending than the mounting portion longitudinal direction of the load beam. The tab is shaped in an arc such that a central portion in a lateral direction protrudes with respect to both end portions in the lateral direction, in the load beam. Each of the both end portions includes a flat surface parallel to the lateral direction.
