The gimbal has flexible finger portions spaced from the load beam which support the mounting portion so that the slider is rotatable with respect to the pivot, and a base end portion which is joined to the load beam. The load beam has elongation portions extending with respect to both sides of the pivot and being connected together in a proximity of a tip end portion of the flexible finger portions so as to be spaced from the pivot of the gimbal and for delimiting a window. The pivot is provided on a projection portion of the load beam which projects in the window from a spring portion side of the window.
