摘要： A read/write head gimbal is provided including a tab or extension on the end of the gimbal portion which is attached to the head/slider assembly, forming this tab such that, when the gimbal is assembled to the load beam, the formed tab passes through an opening created for this purpose in the load beam, and extends beyond the opening far enough to prevent its returning through the opening after the gimbal and load beam are spot welded together. The tab and opening in the load beam are dimensioned so that during normal read/write operations, there is no contact between the tab and the sides of the opening in the load beam. The tab/opening arrangement is such that shock forces in the direction of travel away from the load beam, or in parallel with the surface of the load beam bracing the gimbal, will result in contact between the tab and the sides of the opening in the load beam, thus preventing excessive motion of the gimbal which could result in permanent deformation of the gimbal.

摘要翻译： 一个读/写头万向节被提供，其包括在万向节部分的端部上的接头或延伸部分，其连接到头部/滑块组件上，形成该突片，使得当将万向节组装到负载梁上时， 通过在负载梁中为此目的而建立的开口，并延伸超出开口足够远，以防止在万向节和负载梁被点焊在一起之后通过开口返回。 负载梁中的突片和开口的尺寸设计使得在正常的读/写操作期间，接片和负载梁中的开口的侧面之间没有接触。 突片/开口布置使得远离负载梁的行进方向的冲击力或与支撑万向节的负载梁的表面平行的冲击力将导致突片和开口的侧面之间的接触 负载梁，从而防止可能导致万向节永久变形的万向架过度运动。
