A new beam suspension model for load/unload simulations of magnetic hard disk drive sliders is presented. The model is applicable to the load/unload process as well as to the dynamic flying behavior of the slider on the disk. Suspension and gimbal are modeled with C1 continuous beam elements. The roll degree of freedom of the slider is decoupled from spacing and pitch. The numerical implementation of the model is described. Loading and unloading of a typical subambient pressure type slider is presented.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
