Abstract

A load beam part, which includes a plate-like main body portion facing a disk surface and paired flange portions bent from both side edges of the main body portion in a suspension width direction so as to extend toward a direction opposite from the disk surface, is bent at first and second bending lines in such a convex manner as to project in the direction toward the disk surface, the first bending line being positioned between the proximal end portion of the load beam part and the dimple in the suspension longitudinal direction and extending along the suspension width direction, the second bending line being positioned between the first bending line and the dimple in the suspension longitudinal direction and extending along the suspension width direction.
