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.

An improved magnetic head support mechanism intended for causing a magnetic head to float over a magnetic recording medium, comprises a spring member for retaining the magnetic head and a loading beam member provided with flanged portions along both longitudinal sides thereof and connected to the spring member at one end thereof and coupled to a shifting mechanism at the other end thereof and capable of giving the magnetic head an urging force to act on the magnetic recording medium. The loading beam member is penetratingly formed with at least one passing hole which permits the passing therethrough of an air stream generated by the rotational movements of the magnetic recording medium when the magnetic head is floating, so that it is possible to reduce the exciting force acting on the loading beam member and to thereby obtain the stabilized floating of the magnetic head.

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.

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 flying head slider utilizing a negative pressure according to the invention has a front end, a rear end, and an air bearing surface directed to face a rotating recording medium. The air bearing surface includes a pair of side rails extending on both sides of the air bearing surface from the front end in the longitudinal direction of the slider, a center rail provided at the center of the air bearing surface in the transverse direction and extending from the front end to the rear end in the longitudinal direction of the slider, a cross rail extending in the transverse direction of the slider to connect the pair of side rails and the center rail to each other near the front end, a pair of recesses defined by the pair of side rails, the center rail and the cross rail, communicating grooves for communicating the pair of recesses with the front end, and a head mounted on a rear end surface of the center rail. The pair of side rails, the center rail and the cross rail lie substantially in the same plane. The pair of side rails are spaced from the rear end and are terminated at oblique edges in agreement with oblique lines extending from side edges of the slider to the center of the center rail at its rear end. The pair of side rails each has a width shape which is gradually narrowed from the front end toward a narrow portion located in a vicinity of a center of the slider, and is gradually spread from the narrow portion toward the rear end. The center rail is extended from the front end with substantially a constant width, followed by a width shape gradually spreading toward the rear end.

A magnetic head includes a gimbal with a head slider attached thereon, a load beam retained on the gimbal, and a mount attached on an end portion of the load beam on a side opposite to a side where the head slider is attached. A fulcrum portion as a center of load of the head slider is set on the gimbal to be shifted from a center of the head slider along its longitudinal direction to a proximal end side of the load beam, namely, toward an air upstream side. To compensate for the imbalance of the floating force due to the shift of the fulcrum portion, there is generated a moment about the fulcrum portion. The moment is provided by assigning an inclination angle to a slider attaching surface of the gimbal. The inclination angle can be adjusted by the height of the projection formed as the fulcrum portion. Moreover, the moment is generated by disposing rails on the head slider such that the width on the air upstream side of each rail is wider than the width on the air downstream side of the rail. This compensates for the variation in the load of the head slider and hence minimizes the change in the quantity of floating distance.

A suspension mount apparatus for a transducer used in a magnetic memory for recording and reproduction, is characterized in that the points, at which a rigid arm and a magnetic head/arm assembly supported by the rigid arm are connected to each other, are provided within a region in which the rigidity of the connecting points vary at constant rates with respect to the distances between the connecting points and the borderlines between the rigid arm and the assembly.

A head arm for use in a magnetic disk drive, comprising a guide arm disposed between a magnetic head and an actuator so as to transmit actuating force of the actuator to the magnetic head thereby guiding the magnetic head along a plane of a magnetic disk, a printed circuit fixed to the guide arm, and deflection compensating member for making the coefficients of thermal expansion of said guide arm and said printed circuit substantially equal to each other in at least the direction of seek of the head arm. No thermal deformation in an out-of-plane direction occurs on such a head arm regardless of any variation in the temperature of the environment in which the magnetic disk drive is installed. The head arm may also comprise a guide arm and a printed circuit formed of a moisture absorptive material and covered at all or part of its surfaces with a covering layer formed of a moisture resistive material not permeable to moisture. No deformation in an out-of-plane direction occurs on such a head arm regardless of any variation in the humidity of the environment in which the magnetic disk drive is installed. Therefore, the possibility of occurrence of off-track can be minimized.
