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 is evaluated. Comparison of the present dual stage head-based actuator is made with other suspension-based designs and the collocated design proposed by Lengert et al [1].
