FIG. 1 is a conceptual side view of a magnetic head suspension according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a suspension having a load beam 2 formed thereon. A mount plate 3 is fixed to one end of the suspension 1 and a flexure 4 is mounted on the other end. And the flexure 4 is provided with a slider 5. Such a magnetic head suspension 1 is attached to an actuator arm 9 via a mount plate 3.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the suspension 1 in which the suspensions 1 and 2 are formed, in the loaded state, that is, in the slider floating state, the bending angles at the bending portions C and D are bent smaller than in the conventional case. Therefore, the bump height is lower than the conventional bump height, so that the overall bump height can be suitably reduced.
