Abstract

See full text

A base plate for a suspension has a swage hub whose inner diameter is offset from the outer diameter, and more specifically, the inner diameter of the swage hub is offset so as to be farther away from the head slider than is the outer diameter. The offset reduces variability in post-swaging deflection of the suspension at the distal end of the base plate to which the load beam is mounted.
