摘要:
A magnetic head slider for use with a magnetic recording medium has a bearing surface which opposes to the magnetic recording medium and generates a pneumatic bearing effect for floating the magnetic head slider above a surface of the magnetic recording medium. The bearing surface includes a tapered surface portion constituting an air entrance and a flat rail portion connected to the tapered surface portion. The magnetic head slider has vent holes formed in the flat rail portion penetrating through the magnetic head slider from the flat rail portions to an end surface of the slider opposite to the magnetic recording medium.

A magnetic head device has a magnetic head slider by means of which information is recorded in and read from a magnetic recording medium. The magnetic head slider is supported by a supporting structure having an internal cavity, an opening formed in a portion of the structure where the magnetic head slider faces the magnetic recording medium and communicating with the internal cavity, and a gas passage through which the gas introduced into the internal cavity through the opening is discharged to the exterior of the internal cavity. With this arrangement, the pressure acting on the back surface of the magnetic head slider is adjusted to keep the slider afloat, while removing dust suspended in the gas around the recording medium and the supporting structure.

In a floating type magnetic head support mechanism for a magnetic disk apparatus, a slider carrying a magnetic head floats a small distance above a magnetic disk in accordance with a rotation of the magnetic head to enable a reading/writing of information from/onto the disk by the magnetic head. The slider is coupled to a distal end of a load arm through a gimbal. The coupling portion is located in a common plane parallel with a floating surface of the slider, with the coupling portion including a center of gravity of the slider or being in a parallel plane closer to the floating surface than the center of gravity. The magnetic head support mechanism is so constructed that no rotational moment is applied to a slider during the access operation by the access mechanism.

A flying head slider has a slider body in which gas bearing rails are formed on a surface thereof disposed in opposed relation to a recording medium. A bleed portion is also provided at the surface of the slider body between a pair of gas bearing rails. The bleed portion is composed of at least a rectangular-shaped deep bleed portion in which the pair of longer sides thereof are directioned in parallel to the longitudinal axis direction of the gas bearing rails.

The invention designed to improve the precision in determining the position of the magnetic head and to enable more stable maintenance of the gap between the transducer and the recording disk is characterized in that the flange provided to the transducer supporting arm is made lower in height on the rigid arm side than on the magnetic head side.
摘要:
A flying head slider has gas bearing rails formed on a surface thereof disposed in opposed relation to a recording medium. The flying head slider flies at a microscopic distance above the recording medium by a pressure produced by a stream of gas resulted from the rotation of the recording medium. Each of the gas bearing rails comprises an inflow portion disposed at an inflow side of the gas stream so as to produce a pressure, an outflow portion disposed at an outflow side of the gas stream so as to produce a pressure, and a connective portion interconnecting the inflow portion and the outflow portion in a common plane. The connective portion serves to suppress an excessive compression of the gas, and achieves good damping characteristics.

An apparatus for supporting and reciprocating a magnetic head slider above a rotating magnetic disk comprises a carrying arm having a free end, a flexible base connected at one end thereof to the free end of the supporting arm, a pair of flexible fingers extending from the other end of the flexible base parallel to an axis of the carrying arm and defining therebetween a space, a traverse bar connecting two free ends of the fingers, and a flexible tongued member on which the magnetic head slider to be mounted, one end of the tongued member being connected to the traverse bar and the other end thereof extending into the space with gaps between the tongued member and the fingers and the base. A reduced part of a minimum cross-section is provided in each of the fingers. The reduced part is located between the one end of the tongued member and a center between the one end of the tongued member and the other end of the base.

A transducer supporting apparatus is provided with a rigid structural support connected to a rigid arm portion and a flexible strucural support provided on the free end of the rigid structural support, the flexible structural support comprising two flexible fingers, a transverse frame connecting the two flexible fingers on the extending side thereof through steps, and a slider mounting portion having a tongue form which extends from this frame and is provided adjacent to the two flexible fingers and a slider loaded with a transducer being junctioned with the slider mounting portion. The flexible fingers are so configurated that the end thereof on the side of the rigid arm portion is brought nearer to the plane formed by the floating surface of the slider than the end thereof on the side of the slider mounting portion.
