A head assembly includes a suspension having a gimbal, a flexible printed
wiring sheet having a plurality of conductor patterns and adhered to the
suspension, first and second piezoelectric actuators mounted on the
gimbal, and a head slider mounted on the first and second piezoelectric
actuators. The first and second piezoelectric actuators are adhered to
the gimbal at end portion adhesion portions symmetrical with respect to
the center of pivotal motion thereof and are adhered to the head slider
at end portion adhesion portions on the opposite side disposed
symmetrically with respect to the center of pivotal motion similarly.
Consequently, when a voltage is applied to the first and second
piezoelectric actuators through the flexible printed wiring sheet, a
couple of forces can be generated which vary the posture of the head
slider only in one direction around the center of pivotal motion.
