摘要:
A magnetic disk drive having a small decrease in lubricant film thickness on the surface of the magnetic disk and a superior sliding reliability between the magnetic head and the magnetic disk surface. Perfluoropolyether is supplied as the lubricant onto the surface of the magnetic disk using heat and air flow by applying perfluoropolyether onto the surface of a suspension, or impregnating perfluoropolyether into a filter. The lubricant contains perfluoropolyether having a molecular weight sufficient to enable lubrication and smaller than 4000 by at least 40%.

A magnetic disk drive having a magnetic disk, a spindle motor for rotating the magnetic disk, a magnetic head slider for recording or reproducing data onto or from the magnetic disk and a housing. A control circuit system is provided for controlling the head slider so that the head slider is positioned on the magnetic disk plane when the magnetic disk is rotating, and the head slider is saved to outside the magnetic disk plane when rotation of the magnetic disk is stopped. A lubricant supplier is provided for supplying lubricant to the surface of the magnetic disk. The lubricant supplier contains at least a perfluoropolyether compound having any one of an alcohol group, a cyclic ether group, and an alkyl-ester group at its terminal position as a lubricant, and the lubricant contains the perfluoropolyether compound having a molecular weight sufficient to enable lubrication and no greater than 4000.
摘要:
The present invention is aimed at providing a magnetic disk and a magnetic disk apparatus both of which have a high performance lubricating film which makes continuous sliding endurance and low adhesiveness compatible, and a lubricating film having a self repairing function which makes it possible to recombine scratched off lubricating agent from the magnetic disk surface by sliding with a head onto the magnetic disk surface. The lubricating film comprises at least two kinds of lubricating agents each of which forms an individual layer, the layers being laminated. An adhesion enhancing layer is formed between a magnetic film and a lubricating agent at the surface of the magnetic disk, and the adhesion enhancing layer is fixed onto the magnetic film surface. Then, the adhesion enhancing layer and the lubricating agent are combined. The adhesion enhancing layer and the lubricating agent form a salt or complex body, and the lubricating agent can repeat adsorption and desorption with the adhesion enhancing layer reversely by a thermal reaction.

The present invention is a fluorine-containing compound having i) a perfluoropolyoxyalkyl or -alkylene chain having an average molecular weight of 800 or more and ii) a cyclic or non-cyclic polyether atomic group. Its use as a low-scattering lubricant or surface modifier (water repellent) brings about an improvement in sliding durability of magnetic recording media.

摘要:
A recording element or a reproducing element in a head generates heat that decomposes lubricating agent adhered to a slider surface near the recording/reproducing element of the head. This decomposed lubricating agent leads to corrosion of the magnetic layer and the like of the magnetic disk. The lubricating agent undergoes volume expansion due to this corrosion, creating a protrusion on the magnetic disk surface to which the lubricating agent is adhered. The magnetic disk surface to which the lubricating agent is adhered comes into contact with the magnetic head, leading to friction with the protective layer, the magnetic layer, and the like. In the worst case, this can lead to secondary errors where data recorded on the magnetic layer is erased. To prevent such secondary errors, the present invention provides a hard disk drive including: a magnetic disk to which is applied a first lubricating agent formed as (where p=0 or an integer of at least 1, q=0 or an integer of at least 1, and X=1-5); and a mechanism for supplying a second lubricating agent to the magnetic disk having an average molecular weight of no more than 2,400 and no less than 600 and formed as HOCH2CF2(OC2F4)p(OCF2)qOCF2CH2OH (where p=0 or an integer of at least 1 and q=0 or an integer of at least 1).
摘要:
The magnetic recording medium includes at least a substrate, a magnetic film formed on the substrate for storing data, a protective film and a lubricant film. The protective film has two regions of a predetermined pattern each having a different surface energy. The lubricant film including polar groups is formed on the protective film including the regions. The degree of adhesion of the lubricant film to the protective film is thus changed at the two regions each having a different surface energy so that the lubricant film can be prevented from being scattered.
摘要:
A low cost and highly reliable lubricating technique is realized by using a lubricant having an average molecular weight in the range of 900 to 2500. The lubricant is efficiently supplied to inner portions of a magnetic disk apparatus utilizing heat generated during operation of the apparatus. The method of assembling the apparatus is not affected since it is not necessary to provide a separate lubricant supply mechanism.
