A suspension for magnetic head, for supporting a magnetic head slider on which a magnetic head for recording/reproduction of information on a magnetic recording medium is mounted, wherein one end of the suspension is fixed to a stator portion fixed to the tip end of a load beam of the suspension, a gimbal portion and a rotor portion oscillatably supported by metallic micro-beams formed by bending are provided on the side of the other end of the suspension, and the magnetic head slider is attached to the gimbal portion, whereby the rotor portion and the magnetic head slider attached to the gimbal portion as one body with the rotor portion can be oscillated in parallel to the surface of a magnetic recording disk, independently of the driving of the slider by a coarse actuator.
