A head supporting assembly has high flexibility, while applying a
necessary and sufficient pressing force to a head, is excellent in shock
resistance, and provides a stabilized pressing force not affected by
manufacturing variations, and a head driving assembly and a disk drive
apparatus use such head supporting assembly. The head supporting assembly
is configured to have a base arm provided with a rotation-supporting
portion for supporting a head supporting member for rotation in a
direction toward and away from a disk surface and a resilient member
having one end thereof connected to an end of a supporting arm and the
other end connected to the base arm. The rotation-supporting portion of
the base arm is provided at such a position that a head mount is allowed
to be displaced relative thereto by pressing of the rotation-supporting
portion in the pressing direction.
