Abstract
The invention is aimed at miniaturization and thinning of a magnetic head support device of a floating type. The magnetic head support device includes a load beam 3 having upstanding side rails 22 extending along the longitudinal side edges of the load beam. The magnetic support device also includes a gimbal 2 having upstanding side rails 21 extending along the longitudinal edges of the gimbal for a predetermined distance. The gimbal 2 is disposed below the load beam 3. The upper edges of the side rails 21 of the gimbal are engaged with the lower surface of the load beam 3, so that a predetermined spacing is maintained as between the lower surface of the load beam and the upper surface of the gimbal 2.
