A disk drive includes base with a spindle motor, first and second rockers and first and second sliders. The spindle motor has a turntable to mount a disk. The first and second rockers rock so as to pivot about fulcrums substantially parallel to the turntable. The first rocker pulls in the disk, inserted externally, to a position where the disk and motor have their centers aligned. The second rocker unloads the disk from the position to a point where the disk is exposed partially. The first and second sliders are engaged with the first and second rockers to make them pull in and unload the disk, respectively, and reciprocate substantially parallelly to the turntable. The rockers and sliders are located under the turntable. The slider(s) support(s), raise(s) and lower(s) a side face of the base through the reciprocation.

An air bearing surface for read/write head of a magnetic disk drive is disclosed. The air bearing surface includes a trailing edge pad and a leading edge pad with trailing portions. A cavity is defined between the trailing edge pad and the trailing portions of the leading edge pad. A cavity patch is disposed within the cavity. The cavity patch can be disposed within the cavity towards one side of the read/write head.

A method of contouring a surface of a slider for supporting a transducer relative to a data storage medium includes applying a lithographic resist layer to the slider surface. The resist layer is then exposed through a single mask having 3a mask pattern defined by variation in an optical density through the mask. The resist layer is exposed in an exposure pattern corresponding to the mask pattern. Portions of the resist layer are removed as a function of the exposure pattern to produce a vertically contoured resist layer. The slider surface is etched through the vertically contoured resist layer during a single etching step to form a vertically contoured surface feature within the slider surface.

The invention is a method to salvage suspensions from defective head gimbal assembly units. At present the hard disk industry is undergoing rapid product cycles. The products are being upgraded faster and faster, and the ability for sliders to meet higher density requirement becomes more urgent. Therefore, the performance of a slider becomes more sensitive to signals. As the wafer manufacturing process produces a lower yield, a suspension salvage method is developed to recycle a damaged head gimbal assembly in order to minimize material loss.

A data head is provided which includes a slider having a transducer formed in a thin film structure at a trailing edge end of the slider. The data head also includes transducer overcoat protection which protects the transducer without increasing a spacing between the transducer and a surface of a data storage disc for a given fly height of the data head above the surface of the data storage disc. In addition, a method of fabricating the data head is disclosed.

Disclosed in an arrangement to achieve satisfactory head contact by increasing contact face pressure at a head gap and to reduce the change in time of head contact performance in a double azimuth head. Heads in a portion in which a tape is slid are respectively constructed with each head having two different arcs with a radius of curvature R1 in a first area which includes a gap, and with a radius of curvature R2 in a second area which is adjacent to the first area. A transition portion P for transitioning an arc with the radius of curvature R1 and an arc with the radius of curvature R2 is located in the direction of its adjacent head based upon a contact point Q on R1 of a common tangent drawn from an arc forming a periphery of a rotating drum to a circle formed by R1. The relationship between the radiuses of curvature in two areas is set to R1>R2. As the area in which a tape is in contact can be reduced, contact face pressure by the tape on a gap can be increased, satisfactory head contact can be obtained and as a contact area with a tape is wide to some extent, a change in time of contact performance can be reduced.

A bidirectional linear thin film tape head and drive are disclosed with a flat contour on a wear resistant ceramic substrate. At least one thin film transducer is provided on a side of the substrate, forming one edge to the flat transducing surface, and another edge is formed at the opposite side of the flat transducing surface. In one embodiment, both the transducer edge, with an alumina overcoat protecting the transducer, and the opposite edge of the flat transducing surface form outer tape path edges, and in another embodiment, the thin film transducer is protected by a ceramic closure that covers the thin film transducer and forms an extension to the flat transducing surface which provides an outer tape path edge. The edges remove the air entrained by the tape moving relative to the head in either direction to allow contact or near contact recording with the flat transducing surface.

A floating type of magnetic head is provided for carrying out a winding work without bending a lead line to enhance the working efficiency and for avoiding any damage of lead line. A cutaway which is in communication with a groove and extends toward a leading side is formed on a trailing side of a first slider body. Since a bottom of the groove is retreated toward the leading side, the lead line is advanced to the trailing side and drawn out of the trailing side without bending while winding process. Since the lead line is drawn out to the first rail side, the lead line may be folded back to the trailing side hole and the hollow portion, and may be drawn out of the hollow portion under the straight condition without bending the lead line. The lead line is not necessary to be bent. The working efficiency may be enhanced. It is possible to restrain the generation of twists or kinks and to avoid any fear of a breakdown or a damage of the lead line.

A head drum assembly comprises a plurality of vent holes formed through an upper drum to allow an air under the upper drum to communicate with an air above the upper drum, a flange member for making an air flow within a space between the upper drum and a lower drum, in response to a rotational movement of the upper drum, in such a manner that air is introduced through the vent holes and is radially outwardly flown away from the space, and a plurality of outlet ports for guiding the flown air to apply the flown air against a magnetic tape retained around the head drum assembly.
