The magnetic disk device shown in FIG. A carriage 4 that supports the carriage 4 so as to be movable in the radial direction, a seek mechanism 5 that moves the carriage 4 in the radial direction, a shroud 9 that integrally covers each of the mechanisms, and an air intake that sucks the atmosphere in the shroud 9, for example, air. 7 and a fan 8.

In this case, the cleaning head 2 is provided corresponding to a plurality of magnetic disks. Although not shown in this embodiment, the present magnetic disk device also includes a magnetic head for performing normal recording and reproduction, and a seek mechanism for moving these heads. Further, in the above description, the air intake section 7 and the fan 8 are provided to suck the atmosphere inside the shroud 9, but instead of these, a filter may be provided in the air flow path to suck dust.

も前記実施例と同等の効果を得ることができる。 The cleaning head 2 can adjust the floating spacing of the head by changing the highly hard head shape or the relative speed with the disk, that is, the rotational speed of the disk. It is possible to remove minute dust with a lower flying height than pacing. In addition, in the above embodiment, a head for cleaning was provided separately, but if there is a limitation in the space of the shroud 9, etc., it may be possible to seek by using a normal magnetic head with a flying height lower than the normal flying spacing. It is also possible to obtain the same effect as the above embodiment.

In this case, the cleaning device is the same as the previous embodiment except that the shroud is replaced by a chamber. In this case, the magnetic head for recording and reproducing may not be provided, but it may be provided when checking the recording and reproducing.
