A head suspension for a hard disk drive is thin from an arm to a head and
involves a minimum step between the arm and a load beam. The head
suspension includes a load beam that includes a rigid part and a
resilient part. The load beam applies load onto a head that is arranged
at a front end of the load beam to write and read data to and from a disk
arranged in the hard disk drive. The head is connected to read/write
wiring patterns of a flexure. The flexure supports the head and is
attached to a disk-facing surface of the rigid part. An arm is attached
to a carriage of the hard disk drive and is turned around a spindle. The
arm supports the resilient part that is attached to a base end of the
rigid part. A disk-facing surface of the arm is arranged within the total
of thicknesses of the rigid part and head.
