A suspension is disclosed that includes a pre-load section and a load
section. The pre-load section is configured to be connected to a base.
The load section is connected to the pre-load section and comprises a
load beam portion, a flex circuit portion, and a brace. The brace extends
laterally exterior to the load beam portion proximate to the pre-load
section. The brace increases the lateral sway vibration mode of the load
section, allowing the load beam portion to be narrower, and provide a
decreased weight and increased torsion vibration mode, while also
maintaining an increased lateral sway vibration mode.
