A magnetic-disc apparatus includes a magnetic disc, a magnetic head, and a magnetic-head supporting mechanism having a suspension which includes a load beam having a spring portion and an end portion with a pivot and a gimbal having a mounting portion for a slider loaded with the magnetic head. The gimbal has two flexible finger portions that are extended along both sides of the mounting portion. One surface of the end portion which is directed toward a surface of the magnetic disc and one surface of the flexible finger portions which opposes the one surface of the end portion are spaced so as to be out of contact with each other in a region of a tip portion of the gimbal except when the mounting portion undergoes rotational movement.
