A microfabricated slider assembly used in a disc drive is disclosed. The slider assembly has a slider body having a stator and a rotor, wherein the rotor and the stator are integrally formed from a single substrate. The rotor has a head supporting portion movable both laterally and vertically in relation to the stator to facilitate positioning the transducer head accordingly. The slider assembly also has a microactuator for actively moving the rotor. In one embodiment, the slider assembly has microactuators for actively moving the rotor both laterally and vertically.
