In addition, 14 is a retaining membrane for retaining the thin film transducer 〇, and it has a thickness of about 20 to 1 OjIm@ji. The floating amount is currently (L3JiJ1aa@degree), and it is at an inclination angle that makes the floating amount even smaller ◎ To this floating! Regarding the mechanical characteristics of the Toslider, As is well known, in order to maintain dynamic followability on a recording medium, it is necessary to increase the stiffness of the air film, and in order to maintain the dynamic followability on the recording medium, it is necessary to increase the stiffness of the air film to 80 to 4 f/.
The pressure on the head is 15ff. On the other hand, in order to simplify the mechanism of recent large-capacity magnetic disk drives, so-called zero contact is used, which allows the slider to come into direct** moving contact with the recording medium when the recording medium starts and stops. A start-stop method (hereinafter abbreviated as the C88 method) is adopted. Therefore, 088 with the recording medium of the slider
It is extremely important to ensure friction and wear resistance over time.

On the other hand, in order to ensure the above-mentioned friction and wear resistance at 088, conventionally a protective film has been formed on the recording medium or various solid or liquid lubricants have been applied onto the recording medium. However, this was not enough, and the recording medium and head sometimes came into contact with each other, damaging the Al performance as a placement device.Moreover, for thin-film heads, aggressive efforts were made to ensure friction and wear resistance. In view of the above points, the present invention solves the mechanical problems related to the mounting of thin-film magnetic heads, especially friction and wear resistance, and improves reliability. The purpose of this invention is to provide a thin film magnetic head with high performance.

A thick film made of a lubricating substance such as BN is formed, and the insulating layer 26 and the 11,240 mm thick stack made of a lubricating substance serve as insulation for the thin film transducer 23. As mentioned above, the thin-film magnetic head 41 has a retaining film at the air outflow end of the slider that is formed with a film that has a lubricating effect. , the friction and wear resistance at 088 with the recording medium will be improved.Moreover, a synergistic effect with the solid or liquid lubricant spread on the recording medium is expected, so the friction resistance is significantly improved. Improvement in abrasion properties will be achieved.

Improved friction and wear resistance provides a highly reliable thin-film head that has excellent mechanical properties and suppresses deterioration of the soft magnetic material due to corrosion, so its single-minded significance is extremely high. ◎ In the above WI&@, the thickness l[24, which is more powerful than the insulating layer 2 constituting the protective film and the lubricating substance, is considered to be a different type of material. The protective film may be made of a thick film made of a substance having a lubricating effect, or the entire protective film may be composed of a thick film arm made of a substance having a lubricating effect, provided that the necessary conditions for protection 1IIK, such as mechanical strength, are satisfied. It is obvious that the purpose of the present invention is not impaired. Furthermore, in this case, the insulating layer 5 also has the above-mentioned IRf#
It goes without saying that it may be constructed of a thick and thin material made of a material that has an action.
