As shown in the figure, a spindle motor 2 rotates the magnetic disk medium 1. It has a head arm 4 to which a magnetic head 3 is attached, and when the magnetic head 3 is loaded onto the magnetic disk medium 1, the spindle motor power supply 5 is operated by a mamer 6 to turn on/off the power supply cycle. By starting/stopping 2, Contact-
8tart/5top (hereinafter referred to as C8S) is performed and the durability is evaluated by repeating this process.

ルモータ電源５を遮断するというものであった。To detect a head crash, an AE (Acoustic Emission) sensor I attached to the head arm 4 uses an AE ratio output that converts vibrations applied to the magnetic head 3 during C8S into an electrical signal. The head crash determination circuit 8 compares this AE specific output threshold value with the threshold value, and if the threshold value is exceeded, a head crash is determined and the spindle motor power supply 5 is shut off.

等による誤動作が多いという問題があった。As mentioned above, conventional magnetic disk media durability testers use a method of comparison with the AE specific output threshold to detect head crashes, so if the AE specific output threshold is exceeded even once, a crash will occur. Therefore, there is a problem in that there are many malfunctions due to noise or the like.

ことにある。The magnetic disk media durability tester of the present invention improves the problems of conventional testers, and detects head crashes by determining the number of times the AE specific output threshold is exceeded within the C3S period of one cycle. The reason lies in the provision of a judgment circuit.

It is a diagram showing the AE specific output waveform in (C) in the same figure in correspondence with the rotational speed of the spindle motor ((d) in the same figure).

容易に区別できる。Although the noise is a one-shot signal, it is a signal that continuously outputs a certain amount of AE ratio output at the time of a head crash. Since the head crash determination circuit according to the present invention requires a plurality of signals that exceed a threshold value within the C8S period of one cycle, it is possible to easily distinguish between noise and the AE ratio output at the time of a head crash.
次に本発明について図面を参照して説明する。 Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

れる。FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a crash determination circuit showing an embodiment of the magnetic disk medium durability tester of the present invention. In the figure, the AE ratio output of the AE sensor 7 is input to a head crash determination circuit 8', passed through a filter 9, amplified by a amplifier 10, and compared with a threshold value by a comparator 11. When the AE ratio output threshold is exceeded, one pulse is output from the one-shot circuit 12 to the counter 13.

This has the effect of preventing malfunctions due to noise and allowing accurate evaluation of the durability of magnetic disk media.
