Abstract
A flexure for a rotary actuated load arm for use in a data storage system is disclosed. The flexure attaches a slider to the load arm. The slider carries a transducer over a track on a disk. The disclosed flexure has a high enough radial stiffness to prevent the slider from sliding and sticking in a position where the transducer cannot read or write data on the desired track.
