A magneto-optical recording and/or reproducing apparatus comprises an optical head (2) for providing a light spot for recording, reproducing and erasing for a magneto-optical disc (1), magnetic head (4) which is disposed at a position opposing to the optical head (2) with the magneto-optical disc (1) therebetween and provides a magnetic field for recording and erasing while maintaining a substantially constant distance from the magneto-optical disc (1) by effecting a lift obtained caused by an air flow generated by the rotation of the disc (1), a loadbeam (24) which has the magnetic head (4) on its one end and serves to provide a force caused by elastic deformation to the magnetic head (4) thereby to be balanced with the lift thus obtained, and a moving mechanism connected to the loadbeam (24). Approaching or evading the magnetic head (4) to or from the magneto-optical disc (1) can be realized by deforming the moving mechanism.
