Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate friction and wear and to improve a reliability by supporting an optical recording and reproducing device by floating it in non- contact by the repulsion of the permanent magnet fitted to an optical recording and reproducing device and that fitted to a guide rail. CONSTITUTION:The optical head consisting of the driving device 1 driving an objective lens in the focusing direction F and tracking direction T and the optical block 2 making an optical beam incident on the objective lens and detecting optical information is supported by its floating with its displacement in the direction excepting the tracking direction T of a disk like recording medium 12 being regulated by the repulsion force caused from the guide rails 5a, 5b composed of permanent magnets, the permanent magnets 3a, 3b, 3c fitted respectively to the right, left, front and behind an optical recording and reproducing devices, etc. At this time the driving coils 4a, 4b fitted to the optical head are subjected to access driving in the access direction Ad by the electrodynamic convertor arranged in the magnetic field caused by the guide rails 5a, 5b and opposing magnets 6a-6d. Consequently the optical head is not brought into contact with the guide rails 5a, 5b and the reliability is improved without any friction nor wear.
