| 1. A microactuated disk drive suspension comprising relatively movable proximate and distal suspension portions on a common axis joined by a bending system cantilevered from a said suspension portion and consisting of a cantilevered bending motor opposing said common axis and having a laterally bendable region free of attached support, and a cantilevered laterally bendable load assist structure extending along and spaced from said bending motor and arranged to block undue loading of said bending motor unsupported region. |
