Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a magnetic head and a magnetic disk from being damaged and to stabilize magnetic floating characteristic by providing an air exhaust nozzle at the sliding plane side of a slider. CONSTITUTION:The sliding plane of the slider 2 is provided with a negative pressure sliding plan 3b recessed between positive pressure sliding planes 3a and 3b and inclined front and rear edges 3c and 3d, and a head chip 5 is embedded in the plane. A side groove 3e is provided at the negative pressure sliding plane 3b, and a parallel groove 3f at the inclined plane 3c. The plane 3b, and the grooves 3e and 3f decide the floating quantity of the slider 2 at the time of rotating the magnetic disk 10. The air exhaust nozzle 6 is provided at the side of the inclined planes 3c and 3d of the sliding plane 3b. The air is exhausted from the nozzle 6 to the recording medium plane 10a of the disk until the rotating speed of the magnetic disk 10 arrives at prescribed speed, which floats the slider 2 compulsorily, and the recording plane 10a can be prevented from being damaged. After the rotating speed of the disk arrives at the prescribed speed, the exhaustion of the air is stopped, and the slider can be floated stably with the air that flows between the sliding plane 3 of the slider 2 by the rotation and the medium plane 10a. The air is also exhausted at the time of stopping the rotation of the disk, which prevents the head and the disk from being damaged similarly as when starting.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional magnetic head described above, air is constantly ejected from each air nozzle 25 whose air ejection amount is controlled when the magnetic disk 21 rotates, and is pressed against the upper surface of the slider 20. Therefore, each air nozzle 25
Slider 2 due to variations in the amount of air jetted from
It is difficult to make the flying height of the magnetic head uniform, and the slider 20 itself tends to vibrate due to the ejected air, so there is a drawback that stable flying characteristics of the magnetic head cannot always be obtained.

[Operation] When the rotation of the magnetic disk starts, air is ejected from the air outlet formed on the sliding surface side of the slider, and the magnetic disk is rotated in a non-contact state where the magnetic head is temporarily separated from the magnetic disk. . This reliably prevents damage to the magnetic head and magnetic disk. Furthermore, while the magnetic disk is rotating, the magnetic head flies above the recording medium surface due to the inflow of air between the sliding surface of the slider and the recording medium surface of the magnetic disk.

According to the magnetic head 1 of the above embodiment, as shown in the flying characteristic diagram of the magnetic head in FIG. 0 to 5 m/s), air is ejected from the pair of air ejection ports 6.6 of the slider 2 toward the recording medium surface 10a side of the magnetic disk 10, and the slider 2 is forcibly floated by, for example, 0.5 μm. ” This results in
Since the magnetic head l and the magnetic disk IO can be prevented from being attracted to each other when the magnetic disk IO starts rotating, it is possible to reliably prevent damage to the recording medium surface 10a of the magnetic head 1 and the magnetic disk 1o. .

Further, when the magnetic disk 10 rotates at a linear velocity of 5 m/s or more, the air jet from the air jet port 6.6 is stopped and the normal floating state is maintained, and the rotational speed is adjusted according to the rotational speed of the magnetic disk 10. As shown by the parabola in FIG. 5, the slider 2 always flies by a uniform amount above the recording medium surface 10a of the magnetic disk 10, so that the flying position of the magnetic head 10 becomes stable. In this way, air is ejected from the air ejection port 6.6 only when the rotation of the magnetic disk lo starts,
Further, when the rotation of the magnetic disk 10 reaches a predetermined speed or higher, the air jet is stopped and the sliding surface 3 of the slider 2 and the recording medium surface of the magnetic disk IO due to the rotation of the magnetic disk 10 are stopped. Since the slider 2 is levitated by the inflow of air between Oa, there is no vibration of the slider 2 during rotation of the magnetic disk IO, and stable flying characteristics of the magnetic head can be reliably obtained.

Incidentally, according to the embodiment, recording is performed on one side of the magnetic disk.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, air jet ports are formed on the sliding surface side of the slider, which has a sliding surface that slides along the recording medium surface of the magnetic disk. When the rotation of the magnetic head starts, air is ejected from the air outlet toward the recording medium surface of the magnetic disk, and the slider can be forcibly floated, thereby ensuring that the magnetic head and the recording medium surface of the magnetic disk are not damaged. can be prevented. Furthermore, while the magnetic disk is rotating, air flows between the recording medium surface of the magnetic disk and the sliding surface of the slider depending on the rotational speed of the magnetic disk, so that the slider always floats a uniform amount above the recording medium surface of the magnetic disk. Therefore, the stability of the flying characteristics of the magnetic head can be further improved.
