摘要:
A head slider is composed of a substrate having a transducer on its outflow end, a rail plane formed on a surface near both sides of the substrate facing a magnetic disk. The head slider further includes a plurality of projection elements formed on the rail plane. When the slider is floating over the magnetic disk, the distance between the projection elements and the magnetic disk is greater than the distance between the outflow end of the slider and the magnetic disk.

A head slider is composed of a substrate having a transducer on its outflow end, a rail plane formed on a surface near both sides of the substrate facing a magnetic disk, and the first projection arranged on the rail planes near an inflow end of the substrate, and the second and third projections formed on the rail plane near an outflow end of the substrate.

The head slider has a substrate with a transducer on an outflow end of the substrate and rail planes, facing a disk, formed along sides and a front of the substrate. In addition, projections extend from the rail planes toward the disk. Two projections are near the outflow end of the substrate while one projection is near the inflow end of the substrate.

A magnetic head slider having an air inlet end surface and an air outlet end surface, including a pair of rails formed on a disk opposing surface opposed to a magnetic disk, each of the rails having a flat air bearing surface for generating a flying force during rotation of the magnetic disk and a tapering surface formed continuously to the air bearing surface so as to meet the air inlet end surface; and an electromagnetic transducer formed on the air outlet end surface at a position where one of the rails is formed. The magnetic head slider further includes a pair of projections each formed continuously on the tapering surface and the air bearing surface of each rail, each of the projections extending to a peripheral edge of the air bearing surface.

A magnetic head slider has a plurality of rail planes to generate a floating force by using an air flow passing through a region between a group of the rail planes and a magnetic disk rotated at a constant rotating speed, and the slider floats up into the air according to the floating force. Also, the slider has a first pad arranged near an air inflow end of one rail plane and a second pad arranged near an air outflow end of the same or another rail plane, and a height of the first pad and a height of the second pad respectively range from 20 to 50 nm. Therefore, a coefficient of a friction between the pads and the magnetic disk can be reduced, and the wear of the pads can be prevented. Also, the contact of an electro-magnetic transducing device attached to the air outflow end of the rail plane with the magnetic disk can be prevented.

A magnetic disk evaluation apparatus includes an evaluation head for evaluating a magnetic disk, and a support member for supporting the evaluation head. The support member supports the evaluation head in a state where a flying surface of the evaluation head and a surface of a magnetic disk make a flying pitch angle of 95 μrad or more.

A memory disc for use in a memory disc, comprising a lubricant layer which consists essentially of a non-fluid bonding lubricant, or comprises a lubricant layer which contains at least 90% of non-fluid bonding lubricant. Such memory disc is fabricated through steps of: forming a protective carbon layer; coating a lubricant on a disc substrate; subjecting the resultant substrate to an adhesion treatment to form a bonding layer of lubricant adhering to the disc substrate; and removing a free fluid layer of the lubricant remaining on the bonding layer. Thus, the memory disc has essentially no fluid component that can flow during read/write operations.
摘要:
A protection film is layered over the trailing or outflow end surface of a slider body in a head slider for a recording medium drive. A head element is embedded within the protection film. The head element generates heat in response to the supply of an electric current. The heat causes thermal expansion of the protection film. The tip end of the head element thus excessively approaches the recording disk beyond the medium-opposed surface of the head slider. The flying height of a protection protuberance is set smaller than a flying height of the head element even when the protection film suffers from thermal expansion. The protection protuberance is allowed to trace an orbit closer to the recording medium than the orbit of the head element. The protection protuberance is allowed to collide against obstacles on the recording medium in front of the head element.
摘要:
A protector protuberance is formed on a head slider incorporated in a recording medium drive such as a hard disk drive. The protector protuberance is allowed to collide against a contamination on a recording medium in front of a head element mounted on the head slider. The head element can be protected from collision against the contamination behind the protector protuberance. The protector protuberance is located as close to the head element as possible. Even with a smaller protector protuberance, the front and rear support protrusions contact the recording medium so as to hold the slider body above the surface of the recording medium. An increase can be prevented in the adsorption acting between the slider body and a lubricant agent spreading over the surface of the recording medium. A smaller protector protuberance enables the head element to approach the recording medium as close as possible upon read/write operations.
