A suspension for a head slider includes a load beam. A base material of
the load beam is covered with first and second elastic films extending on
the front and back surfaces of the base material. The second elastic film
is continuous with the first elastic film. The suspension is exposed to a
high speed airflow. Vibrations induced through torsional deformation
and/or flexural deformation are induced in response to the influence of
the high speed airflow. Since the front and back surfaces of the load
beam are covered with the first and second elastic films, the resonance
to the vibrations induced through torsional deformation and/or flexural
deformation can be attenuated based on damping performance of the first
and second elastic films. The load beam is reliably prevented from
suffering from vibrations based on torsional deformation and/or flexural
deformation.
