A Head Gimbal Assembly (HGA) of the invention includes a slider; a
micro-actuator to adjust the position of the slider; and a suspension to
support the slider and the micro-actuator. The micro-actuator includes
two side arms; a load plate for supporting the slider, which is connected
with at least one of the side arms; a pair of piezoelectric (PZT)
elements connected with the side arms; and a support shaft coupled with
the suspension, the support shaft being connected with the side arms and
positioned between the PZT elements. The invention also discloses a disk
