Abstract

PURPOSE:To suppress the evaporation and erasion of a lubricant film on the surface of a magnetic disk and always to maintain the lubricant film in the best lubricant state, by using a lubricant generating source which is exposed into the circulation of hot air current and produces the lubricant vapor. CONSTITUTION:When a disk drive mechanism 5 is driven to give a high-speed revolution to a magnetic disk 1, a hot air current produced by a windage loss circulates as shown by arrows. Thus the temperature rises up inside an airtight container 7, and at the same time a member 10 impregnated with a lubricant is also heated. Thus the lubricant is evaporated. This lubricant vapor is transmitted through a filter 11 to get rid of dust, etc., and the clean lubricant steam is obtained. This clean vapor passes through a center venthole 3 drilled at the center of a hub mechanism 2 and flows among disks 1 through small ventholes 4 to be filled into an airtight container 7. Thus the balance is kept between the lubricant vapor pressure of the lubricant film on the surface of each disk 1 and the steam pressure generated by the increment of temperature. Thus it is possible to maintain at all times the lubricant film on the surface of the disk 1 in a steady state having good lubricant characterisitcs.

fbl Technology Background In recent years, in magnetic disk drives, the magnetic film of the magnetic disk has become thinner or multilayered, and the magnetic head has become lower in height.
Efforts are being made to increase the recording density through methods such as binary conversion. In addition to lowering the flying height of the magnetic head, the magnetic head is in contact with the surface of the magnetic disk when stopped, and as the rotational speed increases, the magnetic head is made to float slightly, which is the so-called CS S ( Contact 5tart
As the adoption of the 5top) method progresses, it becomes more likely that problems such as wear and damage will occur on the surface of the magnetic head and magnetic disk due to contact sliding when starting and stopping rotation.
To prevent this, apply /l1lI lubricant to the surface of the magnetic disk, or /r! Special surface treatments such as coating the synovial membrane are commonly performed.

(c) Prior art and problems By the way, as the recording density of magnetic disk drives increases, lowering the flying height of the magnetic head becomes more and more important, and the lubricating film applied to the surface of the magnetic disk has gradually become thinner. An extremely thin lubricating film with a thickness of around 100 mm and excellent slip resistance is required. On the other hand, with the adoption of the CSS method, magnetic disk drives are being shifted to sealed types in order to prevent head crashes caused by dust intrusion. However, in such a sealed magnetic disk device, the temperature inside the sealed device increases due to wind damage caused by the high-speed rotation of the magnetic disk, so the atmosphere inside the device is usually cooled by a self-circulation air cooling method. However, it is still unavoidable that the temperature inside the device rises to 60 to 70°C, and this rise in temperature causes damage to the moisture applied to the surface of the magnetic disk. There is a disadvantage that the P1 film evaporates and disappears, deteriorating its lubricating properties, and heat resistance against such disadvantages is also required.

However, in response to such M requirements, typical lubricants conventionally used to form a synovial film on the surface of a magnetic disk include hydrocarbons such as paraffin, higher fatty acid alcohols, higher fatty acid esters, etc. In addition, there are fluorocarbon oils, which are fluorides thereof, and silicone oils, which consist of 5i-5i bonding groups, and these lubricants are used alone or in combination. lubricants, especially those formed by higher fatty acids and their esters? The fA film has excellent lubrication properties, so it has an excellent effect on lubrication durability, but on the other hand,
It has the drawback of poor heat resistance, such as gradual evaporation and loss of lubricity in an atmosphere of around 0°C.Also, lubricating films formed with fluorocarbon oils, silicone oils, etc. have excellent heat resistance. However, they all have shortcomings such as poor lubrication properties and only limited film properties.

Therefore, is it for higher recording density?

Therefore, it was difficult to perform stable high-density recording or reproduction.
