Original Abstract Submitted
A disk device includes magnetic disks, a magnetic head, a suspension, and a carriage. The suspension includes a flexible substrate on which the magnetic head is mounted. The carriage includes an arm to which the suspension is attached. The arm includes opposing first and second end surfaces, a side surface extending between the first end surface and the second end surface, and a protruding body that protrudes from the side surface and has a first surface parallel to and spaced apart from the first end surface and a second surface parallel to and spaced apart from the second end surface. The flexible substrate includes a strip extending along the side surface. The strip includes a portion positioned between the first end surface and the protruding body in the axial direction and is positioned between the first end surface and the second end surface in the axial direction.
