Computer simulation of bouncing vibration and wear characteristics of an in-contact head slider was performed using 3-degrees-of-freedom (3-DOF) model of a head-suspension assembly, considering the meniscus force generated by the surface energy of the lubricant on the magnetic disk. As a result of the calculation for the sinusoidal undulation, it was found that an optimal surface energy exists from the view point of in-contact slider dynamics and wear characteristics. It was also found from the calculation for the random undulation that the effect of the surface energy of the lubricant becomes large in the case of small bouncing.
