LOADING-START-STOP OF NEGATIVE PRESSURE SLIDER

抄録

  Non-contact start/stop is preferable for reliability of head/media interface. If non-contact can be established, lowering a flying height is possible. Negative pressure slider is suitable for non-contact start/stop because of its self-loading characteristic. The slider setted at the optimized pitch angle, is adjusted to the suitable attitude for self-loading and is loaded without contact.
