In a magnetic disk apparatus, a function of shielding a magnetic head is improved while maintaining the form factor with an inexpensive structure. In one embodiment, a magnetic disk apparatus has a magnetic disk, a magnetic head that records or plays back information, a magnetic head support mechanism supporting the magnetic head, a positioning mechanism that moves the magnetic head in a radial direction of the magnetic disk to place the head in position, an enclosure made of a nonmagnetic material, and a shield member made of a magnetic material. The magnetic disk, magnetic head, magnetic head support mechanism, positioning mechanism, and shield member are housed in the enclosure. The shield member has an upper shield located above the magnetic head and extending over the range of movement of the magnetic head, a lower shield located on the opposite side of the surface where the magnetic head exists and extending over the range of movement of the magnetic head, and a connecting portion connecting an outer side end portion of the upper shield and an outer side end portion of the lower shield near the outer fringes of the magnetic disk.

Embodiments of the invention provide a magnetic disk device capable of improving the shielding function for the magnetic head yet maintaining a form factor. In one embodiment, a magnetic disk device comprises a magnetic disk; a magnetic head for recording/reproducing information; a magnetic disk drive mechanism for moving magnetic head in the radial direction of the magnetic disk; a housing including a base and a cover having a nonmagnetic material; and a magnetic shielding member having a magnetic material. The housing has a cut-away portion corresponding to a range in which the magnetic head moves, and the magnetic shielding member is formed in a U-shape including an upper wall portion, a side wall portion and a bottom wall portion. The magnetic shielding member covers the range in which the magnetic head moves, and is disposed in the cut-away portion so as to form substantially the same surface as the surfaces of the upper wall, side wall and bottom wall of the housing.

A magnetic disk device having a magnetic disk for recording information, a rotary mechanism for rotating the magnetic disk, a magnetic head unit for recording information on the rotating magnetic disk, a slider having mounted thereon the magnetic head unit and flying over the rotating magnetic disk, a magnetic head supporting mechanism for supporting the slider, and a positioning mechanism for setting the magnetic head unit at a predetermined radial position. The magnetic head supporting mechanism has mounted thereon an integrated circuit (IC) for amplifying an information write/read signal of the magnetic head unit, and a control circuit is connected to the IC. A recording frequency is controlled according to the radial position of the IC on the magnetic disk by the control circuit.

A head support mechanism includes a head to write/read information, and a head support member to support the head. The head support member has parts delimiting an opening at a portion thereof in which opposing parts which delimit the opening in a width direction of the head support member are elastically deformable. Protrusions are formed on edges of the opening, and piezoelectric elements are mounted on the protrusions to enable deforming of the head support member in a direction of positioning of the head.

A magnetic head supporting apparatus having a magnetic head for reading and writing information on a magnetic disc, a slider for mounting the magnetic head, and a suspension for supporting the slider. An IC chip for controlling a signal of the magnetic head is mounted on a heat insulating substrate which substantially prevents conduction of heat therethough, and the heat insulating substrate is mounted to the suspension.
摘要:
A magnetic disk device having a head integrated circuit mounted on a magnetic head supporting mechanism. In order to secure the reliability by controlling the integrated circuit temperature below a predetermined level, the difference in the integrated circuit cooling ability which varies with the radial position on the disk is quantified, so that power (signal) sufficient to maintain a constant temperature according to the integrated circuit temperature is supplied to the integrated circuit. Since the cooling ability at a given radial position of the integrated circuit is not exceeded by the power consumption, the integrated circuit temperature can be maintained below a predetermined level.
