There are provided a magnetic head and a magnetic disk apparatus wherein an upper magnetic pole is so shaped that, at a position where skew angle is maximum, the maximum of its projected length in the radial direction of a magnetic disk is not more than the track pitch of the magnetic disk, whereby acceleration of thermal relaxation of information recorded on adjacent tracks is obviated even in an area where the skew angle is large.

Embodiments of the invention provide a magnetic head which can suppress broadening of the magnetic field distribution in the track-width direction without reducing the magnetic field intensity. In one embodiment, a main pole is composed of a pole tip having a part providing a write-track width, and a yoke part recessed from the air bearing surface in the element-height direction, where the trailing side surface of the pole tip is made as an asymmetric structure with respect to the track center.

A method of enhancing the thermal stability of gray codes is disclosed. The gray code block in a servo area is recorded with a combination of two different magnetization directions. When the two different magnetization directions are expressed as “+” and “−”, the information “1” is recorded as “++−−” or “−−++” with the information “0” recorded as “+−+−” or “−+−+”. Since the filter for gray code demodulation is provided with a perpendicular recording mode, the servo area does not use long-wavelength signals that are susceptible to thermal demagnetization. As a result, thermal stability is enhanced.

Embodiments of the invention prevent a decrease in magnetization or demagnetization from occurring to recording magnetization regardless of a direction in which a stray field is applied. In one embodiment, an apparatus for data storage system comprises a head having a magnetic field shield in the vicinity of a main pole, and a cover of the device, using a constituent material with a magnetic field shielding effect, across the cover, or at part thereof. When a stray field in a direction perpendicular to a recording medium is applied, the effect of the magnetic field is alleviated by the magnetic field shield installed in the vicinity of the main pole. In such a case, it need only be sufficient to form the magnetic field shield in a shape optimum for removing the stray field in the perpendicular direction only. When a stray field in a direction horizontal in relation to the recording medium is applied, the magnetic field acting on the recording medium is removed by the cover of the device comprising a magnetic component.

To improve the track density by reducing the discontinuity of servo patterns to be generated by a servo track writer, some servo areas existing in one circuit of a magnetic disk are formed at the consecutive first and second circuits of a servo track writer by averaging a plurality of position signals detected from servo patterns at the first and second circuits of the magnetic disk.

A plurality of patterns are formed beforehand so that each of those patterns is deviated slightly from another in each sector in the track width direction, then the pattern is followed up, thereby obtaining both full-track profile and micro-track profile. A variation of a position signal is detected from this profile, thereby creating a table for correcting the non-linearity error of the position signal. Consequently, the distribution of the write/read-back property is measured, thereby enabling the track density to be improved. Furthermore, a variation of the position signal caused by a property variation of the head read-back element is detected and corrected, thereby enabling a high reliability and a high track density to be realized for the object magnetic recording disk apparatus.
摘要:
When the amount of position error PE of a magnetic head meets the condition of Ewf>PE>=Eww for two threshold values Ewf and Eww meeting Ewf>Eww, the track is registered in the track information table as a track requiring rewrite and the tracks on both sides neighboring to the track are temporarily write-inhibited. The data of the track is rewritten on another track later so as to maintain the data. By doing this, the offtrack of the recording track can be made smaller without sacrifice of the access speed and the occurrence probability of write fault can be reduced. Furthermore, the reliability of a magnetic disk apparatus can be improved.
