LOADING SYSTEM OF MAGNETIC DISK

PURPOSE:To prevent attraction of a magnetic head slider by changing the thickness of a magnetic disk medium in radial direction, simultaneously setting the height of mounting to make the load to a floated slider positive in a thick area and negative in a thin area when the negative pressure type slider is seeked in the radial direction. CONSTITUTION:When the negative pressure type magnetic head slider 2 is placed at the position A of seek starting of a magnetic disk medium 1 at the time of starting and stopping, the magnetic disk medium 2 is kept still at the height ha even when it is driven and rotated. In loading, when the slider 2 is moved to a position B after starting and rotating the magnetic disk medium 1, it is floated by very small height. Then, when the slider 2 is seeked in the direction of the position A, it keeps floating at the prescribed height. Accordingly, the amount of floating does not change due to a hysteresis phenomenon. In stopping, when the magnetic medium 1 is stopped after shifting the floating slider 2 to the position A, the slider 2 is unloaded and kept at the position A at the supported height ha.
