摘要： The air bearing surface (10) of an air bearing slider (12) is configured with a taper (20) formed at the slider leading end (14) and a rail (18) that is formed with a base (26) and two legs (22, 24). One leg extends from the base (26) partially toward the trailing end (16). The other leg extends from the base (26) to the trailing end (16) and is integrally formed of a rectangularly shaped section and one or more polygon-shaped sections. Inner and outer recesses (47, 49) are defined and separated by the rail (18), such that the slider is effectively insensitive to changes in ambient pressure, particularly from variations in altitude, so that a substantially constant flying height can be maintained.

摘要： The air bearing surface of an air bearing slider is formed with first and second side rails (10A, 10B) and a central recess (18). The rails are configured to have an inverted U-shaped section and a connecting partial trapezoidal-type section. The U-shaped section has a base joined to two spaced legs, wherein one leg is preferably longer than the other. A continuous recess is provided between the legs of each side rail and extends from the base towards the trailing end of the slider and adjacent to the trapezoidal-type section. The slider is effectively insensitive to changes in air pressure, particularly in variations in altitude, so that a substantially constant flying height can be maintained.

摘要： A negative pressure air bearing slider (24) is provided with side rails (10, 12; 52, 54; 112, 114), a central negative pressure cavity between the side rails (10, 12; 52, 54; 112, 114) and one or more relief vents at the leading edge (21) of the slider. The side rails (10, 12; 52, 54; 112, 114) extend fully or partially from tapered regions (22) at the leading edge (21) of the slider to the trailing edge of the slider. Air bearing pads disposed adjacent to the front tapered regions (22) and/or the slider trailing edge may be configured with the side rails (10, 12; 52, 54; 112, 114). By virtue of the slider design, variations in flying height and roll are minimized.

摘要： The air bearing surface of an air bearing slider is formed with first and second leading end tapers (10, 12) that are spaced from the sides of the slider. Air bearing pads (14, 16) are formed with transverse sections and longitudinal legs which define a major recessed central region. The leading end tapers and the transverse sections delineate a narrow recessed channel (22) extending from the slider leading end to the recessed central region (18). Angled recessed areas (20, 22) are formed between the legs and sides of the slider. A third pad (24) is located at the trailing end of the slider. As a result, the slider has virtually no roll and improved stiffness for pitch and vertical characteristics of the slider over a large range of altitudes, including sea level to about 10,000 feet above sea level.
