Abstract
A carriage for a magnetic disk apparatus includes a slider on which a magnetic head for reading/writing information from/to a disk is mounted, a suspension for carrying the slider and for applying a predetermined load to the slider, and a carriage arm to which the suspension is attached. The carriage arm includes a suspension fixing portion, first and second arms arranged substantially in parallel with a disk surface, and a restricting member having a surface opposite to the first and second arms. The restricting member and the first arm, and the restricting member and the second arm are coupled via a viscoelastic body.
