ができないという欠点があった。Conventionally, to measure the flying characteristics of magnetic disks, an acoustic emission sensor (
(hereinafter referred to as AE sensor) is attached, the rotation speed of the disk is gradually increased, and the arm vibrates due to the contact of the disk with the floating slider attached to the tip or the action of the airflow generated by the rotation of the disk. This was done by reading the output signal from the AE sensor with an effective value voltmeter or the like. However, the flying characteristics obtained in this manner can only be evaluated for a portion of the disk corresponding to the width of the floating slider, and therefore have the disadvantage that the entire disk surface cannot be evaluated.

る。According to the present invention, the floating slider of the magnetic head is moved over the entire radius of the disk while rotating the magnetic disk at a low rotational speed, and the output of the AE sensor attached to the magnetic head arm is measured, and then the magnetic disk is sequentially rotated. By repeating the operation of rotating at a high rotational speed and making similar measurements, it becomes possible to evaluate the flying characteristics of the entire disk surface, thereby achieving the above objective.

ディスク面全体について行うことができる。FIG. 1 shows an apparatus for an embodiment of the invention, in which a magnetic disk l to be measured is attached to a rotating shaft 7. In FIG. An AE sensor 4 is attached to an arm 3 that supports a floating slider 2 of a magnetic head, which is arranged opposite to the surface of the disk 1. The AE sensor 4 is connected to a signal processing device 6. The arm 3 is fixed to a movable stage 5,
It can be moved in the radial direction of the disk l as shown by arrow 8. Using such a device, the disk 1 is rotated at a low speed by the rotating shaft 7. At that time, move the movable stage 5 in the direction of the arrow 8 over the entire radius of the disk,
The vibration of the floating slider 2 is transmitted to the AE sensor 4 via the arm 3.
The relationship between the magnitude of the output signal of the AE sensor 4 and the flying height must be determined in advance using a glass disk or the like. For example, the flying characteristics of the entire surface of the disk 1 can be measured by gradually increasing the rotational speed and repeating the measurement of the AE sensor output. At that time, the floating slider 2 becomes low in the air above a certain number of rotations, and when the arm 3 is moved in the disk radial direction, if there is a protrusion on the surface of the disk 1 due to the flying height, the floating slider 2 will come into contact with it, making it possible to detect the protrusion. This can be done on the entire disk surface.

を存する。The present invention makes it possible to measure the flying characteristics of the entire disk surface by moving the floating slider in the radial direction of the disk while the magnetic disk is rotating at the same rotation speed. By moving the floating slider in the radial direction at a certain rotation speed, there is an effect that protrusions on the entire disk surface can be detected at the same time.
