Zusammenfassung:A mechanism for loading/unloading a read and/or write head (1a, 1b) of a disk drive apparatus against a magnetic disk (3), includes a lifter (6a, 6b) which bends a suspension (2a, 2b) supporting the read and/or write head. The suspension is bent by moving the lifter in response to movement of the head actuator (4) to detach the read and/or write head mounted on a tip of the suspension (2a, 2b) from the magnetic disk (3) by a given distance, to protect the heads (1a, 1b) and the disk (3) from damage.
