This paper describes a general methodology for the optimum design of magnetic head sliders, in which the objective function to be optimized is defined as weighted sum of the static and dynamic flying characteristics such as the minimum spacing, maximum difference in the spacing due to variation of the radial location of head, and maximum amplitude ratio of the slider motion, etc. As an example of optimum design, the optimum design variables of IBM 3380-type magnetic head slider are determined, and the results obtained are compared with the randomly selected design variables to confirm the effectiveness of optimum design. Moreover, the characteristics of optimum solutions are discussed by checking the variation of design variables with progress of optimization.
