Laminated Beam Suspensions are composed of a tri-laminated beam consisting of two stainless steel layers with a polyimide layer between them. This configuration allows for weight reduction in the overall suspension while maintaining the same performance for suspensions greater in weight.


 

The Benefits of Laminated Beam Suspensions

This suspension is effective for precise positioning (tracking) due to its reduced weight and high rigidity.
This suspension allows weight reduction of up to 20% as seen in the charts below without reducing the mode.
This suspension allows for flexibility in design since we can manipulate the polyimide thickness.
