Abstract

PURPOSE:To stabilize the write and read operation for a magnetic medium by gradually increasing the width of a slider on a plane orthogonal to the extension direction of a groove according as going toward the vicinity of a part of gaps from the end part on the side which each point of the storage medium approaches by rotation. CONSTITUTION:The width of a slider 2 on the plane orthogonal to the extension direction of an air groove 3 is gradually increased according as going toward the vicinity of a part of gas 14 and 15 from the end part on the side which each point of the storage medium approaches by rotation. Therefore, the air current generated by rotation of the magnetic medium 1 strikes against a front end 19 of the slider 2, and most of the air current flows in the air groove, and the other part of the air current which cannot flow in the air groove flows along both end faces of the slider, and the air current does not penetrate the space between the slider 2 and the magnetic medium 1. Consequently, the interval between the magnetic head and the magnetic medium 1 is prevented from being extended by the air current generated by high-speed rotation of the magnetic medium 1. Thus, the write and read operation for the magnetic medium 1 is stabilized.
