Abstract: A method for assembling a head-gimbal assembly of a hard disk drive, the method including the steps of dispensing adhesive onto a top surface of a gimbal tongue, wherein the gimbal tongue is positioned adjacent to a load beam with a dimple extending from its top surface, and wherein the gimbal tongue is configured with at least one support feature that inhibits its deformation toward the dimple when subjected to downward pressure with respect to the dimple; positioning a slider on which a magnetic head is mounted adjacent to the top surface of the gimbal tongue; and pressing the slider onto the adhesive and toward the dimple of the load beam.

Abstract: A head suspension assembly for supporting a read/write head of a disk drive located on a rotatable drive actuator arm is disclosed. The head suspension assembly includes a baseplate end proximate to and operatively connected to a first microactuator pair, the first microactuator pair communicatively coupled to a controller. The head suspension assembly also includes a load beam movably connecting the first microactuator pair to a second microactuator pair. The head suspension assembly also includes a head transducer end proximate to and operatively connected to the second microactuator pair, the second microactuator pair communicatively coupled to the controller. The read/write head is located proximate to the head transducer end, the read/write head being flexibly connected to the load beam, and the controller is configured to selectably transmit control signals to the first and second microactuator pairs in order to improve tracking control of the read/write head.
