A region of flexure layer, including slider mounting face coupled to
offset mounting face for at least one piezoelectric device. The offset
mounting face for piezoelectric device provides asymmetry between first
contact region and second contact region. This is cost effective,
reliable support for piezoelectric devices used for micro-actuation in
hard disk drives. The slider moves based upon asymmetry of the offset
mounting face coupled to the piezoelectric device twisting the slider
mounting face. The invention includes flexure containing the region of
the flexure layer. The invention includes head gimbal assembly including
flexure, actuator arm including head gimbal assembly, and actuator
assembly including actuator arm, and hard disk drive including actuator
assembly. The invention includes manufacturing the region, the flexure,
the head gimbal assembly, the actuator arm, the actuator assembly and the
hard disk drive, as well as these products of the manufacturing
processes.
