In recent years, magnetic disk devices have been required to record information at high density due to the need for smaller size and larger capacity.
For example, the track density is approximately 1.000 TPI (tracks per inch), and the data recording density is approximately
It has reached 12,000 BPI (bits per inch). Such a magnetic disk device requires a magnetic head moving mechanism that can position the magnetic head on a high-density track and stably float the magnetic head.
The positioning of the magnetic head using this mechanism is generally performed using a track servo method that follows position signals recorded in advance on a magnetic disk. It is necessary to increase the resonance frequency of the system to several KHz or higher.

However, in conventional magnetic head positioning mechanisms, the carriage supporting the magnetic head is movable by a so-called ball bearing in which inner and outer rings fit a plurality of rolling balls, and the mechanism for supporting the ball bearing is complicated. Therefore, geometrical dimensional changes caused by machining dimensional errors in the mechanical parts sometimes lead to a decrease in the mechanical resonance frequency as a whole. Therefore, the magnetic head positioning mechanism according to the prior art has a problem in that it is difficult to position the magnetic head with high precision.

Now, the guidance of the carriage 2 according to this embodiment is as follows.
This is accomplished by a roller support 5, the details of which are shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The roller support 5
As shown in FIG. 2, the two rollers 6a in the front and rear directions of the roller guide 6 inserted into the openings 5a in three directions contact the slightly concave transfer surface 2b of the carriage 2, so that the carriage 2 is configured so as not to rotate with respect to the axis of movement. That is, the outer peripheral surface of the roller 6a has a convex cross section, and the convex portion and the concave portion of the transfer surface 2b are arranged at equal intervals, so that the convex portion of the roller 6a falls into the concave portion of the transfer surface 2b. Because it acts like
As a result, the carriage 2 is prevented from rotating with respect to the axis of movement and stably moves linearly. Although not shown in the drawings, the roller support 5 in this embodiment has one roller guide 6 provided with a spring for absorbing thermal displacement etc. after assembly.
Of the two rollers 6a, one roller 6a is configured to press against the recessed portion of the transfer surface 2b.

The principle of preventing the carriage from rotating due to these mechanisms will be explained using FIG. 4 just in case. Figure 4 shows
4 is a diagram showing the principle of the carriage support mechanism shown in FIG. 3, and the same reference numerals as in FIG. 3 indicate the same parts. FIG. Carriage 2 shown in Figure 4
is relative to the plane perpendicular to the movement axis (drawing plane)
Transfer surface 2 with outward facing recesses every 120 degrees
a in three directions, and rotatably fixed rollers 6a are in contact with the recesses of the transfer surface 2a at the upper right and lower sides of the drawing, respectively, and the recesses of the transfer surface 2a at the upper left of the drawing are provided with the rollers 6a. The roller 6a is pressed by a spring 100 in the direction of the moving axis. In this case, the pressing force 100A generated by the upper left spring 100 is applied to the other roller 6a.
The pressure is divided into pressure forces 100B and 100C toward the roller 6a, and the respective rollers 6a and the recesses are pressed, and even if the recesses of the transfer surface 2a are about to rotate, the bottom of the recesses will not reach the apex of the protrusion of the roller 6a. Since a restoring force acts to position the carriage 2, it is possible to move the carriage 2 in the axial direction without rotating.

Furthermore, the magnetic head moving mechanism according to this embodiment has the roller guide 6 as shown in detail in FIG.
However, it has an inner rotary roller bearing that rotatably supports the rotating shaft 6d of the roller 6a directly by the ball 6b. This bearing with an inner ring rotating roller does not have an inner ring, but has an integral structure in which the inner groove of the outer ring 6c is used as the outer circumferential orbit, and the outer circumferential groove of the shaft 6d is used as the inner peripheral orbit and the balls 6b are fitted. It is rotated by a bearing 6d. The bearing according to this embodiment has a simple structure in which the roller guide 6, which has the bearing with the inner ring rotating roller, is fixed to the roller support 5 with screws 51, so assembly of the inner and outer rings and machining of each part can be performed without causing errors over time. It is possible to prevent a decrease in the mechanical resonance frequency due to dimensional errors.

In addition, in the bearing with the inner ring rotating roller according to this embodiment, since the shaft rotates the inner ring, there is less grease scattering compared to a conventional bearing with inner and outer rings, and there is no possibility of dust entering between the magnetic head and the magnetic disk. It is possible to prevent head crashes from occurring.
At the same time, it is possible to extend the life of the bearing.

A magnetic head positioning mechanism characterized in that the cross section parallel to the rotation axis has a convex shape with a radius R2 larger than the radius R1 . 3. In the magnetic head positioning mechanism according to claim 1, the transfer surface of the carriage has a convex portion having a radius R 3 along the axial direction, and the roller of the carriage support portion rotates in contact with the convex portion. A magnetic head positioning mechanism characterized in that the magnetic head positioning mechanism has a concave shape in which a cross section parallel to the rotation axis has a radius R4 larger than the radius R3 . 4. In the magnetic head positioning mechanism according to claim 2 or 3, the carriage support portion fits the ball with the outer circumferential groove of the rotating shaft as the inner orbit and the inner circumferential groove of the outer ring as the outer circumferential orbit. A magnetic head positioning mechanism characterized in that the roller is rotatably supported by a bearing with an inner rotating roller.
