Abstract
A dual stage microactuated (DSA) suspension has two microactuators which are located approximately mid-load beam, and which are close to the stiffening edge rails of the load beam. A vertically extending C-spring is formed in the rails adjacent the microactuators in order to allow the microactuators to expand and contract.
