摘要:
A disk system comprising an upper and lower head gimbal assembly, a coarse positioning servo system that includes a stepper motor for 135 TPI operation and a voice coil motor type servo for 1251 TPI operation that is driven by a optical servo system which locates optical track positioning information previously recorded on 3.5 inch microfloppies. The optical system focuses a spot of infrared light on the microfloppy which is channeled back to a detector. Each head gimbal includes a ceramic slider with two air bearing surfaces. A very high density magnetic core is positioned in one air bearing surface and high density magnetic core is located in the other air bearing surface. Both upper and lower sliders are such that the floppy disk media is pinched between them. The gaps of the magnetic cores are positioned within the leading edge half of their respective air bearing surfaces and take advantage of the tendency of the sliders to plow into the floppy disk media. The very high density and high density cores are offset differently from the centerline of the sliders to reduce crosstalk coupling between heads on opposite sides of the floppy disk media.
摘要:
An integrated read/write transducer and flexure support structure is provided for use with rotating magnetic media such as a hard disc drive. The integrated structure includes at least one magnetic pole structure integral with a unitary sheet of flexible magnetic material from which the flexure support is formed. A second magnetic pole is supported on the structure, together with conductive coils, to form an electromagnetic transducer. The integrated structure includes an air-bearing surface mounted for parallel motion with respect to adjacent magnetic media. A pattern of positive-pressure air-bearing rails and negative-pressure recesses provides an aerodynamically stable configuration designed to fly at a height of approximately 5 microinches above the moving magnetic media. Conductors and interconnect pads are provided on the magnetic sheet material substrate. The overall transducer and flexure support, including an external stiffener attached to the backside of the air-bearing surface, has a mass of less than about 15 milligrams.
