摘要

The design of a collocated head-based dual stage actuator is investigated using finite element analysis. The effect of gimbal design dimensions on the lateral deflection of the read-write element is evaluated. A comparison of the proposed dual stage head-based actuator is made with other suspension-based designs and the collocated design proposed by Lengert et al. (2012). Guidelines for optimization of the designs are presented and discussed.
