Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease the clearance between the detection surface of a magnetic head and a magnetic scale and to improve the accuracy of the scale by disposing >=2 pieces of magnets in parallel to a magnetosensitive element. CONSTITUTION:A front cover 2 is supported in contact with magnets 6, 7. Therefore, the clearance between a magnetic head and the detection surface of a magnetic scale 11 can be decreased and the resolution of the scale 11 can be improved. A parallel bias magnetic field is applied to a magnetosensitive element 5 by the magnets 6, 7; therefore, even if there is anisotropy in shape, the biasing in a magnetization direction or the like in the magnets, the direction of the bias magnetic field is determined exactly and the accuracy of the scale is improved without the DC biasing in the output of the element 5 or the fluctuation in the amplitude of the adjacent outputs.

It is well known that a magnetic head device configured to apply a bias magnetic field to a magnetic sensing element such as a strong metal magnetoresistive thin film element or a magnetic conductor resistance element is used as a detection means for magnetic scale notes. That's right.

However, the conventional t2 position has a structure in which a base magnet is attached to the magnetic sensing element to apply a bias magnetic field, but with this method of applying a bias magnetic field using a single magnet, it is difficult to reach F9. There is a drawback that the desired magnetic field direction cannot be set accurately. That is, 1. Usually, a magnet has a shape A7i or a bias in the direction of arrival and departure, and the direction of the mechanical IfCa field cannot be determined.

If the direction of the bias magnetic field is not determined, the output of the S-sensor will be biased to DC, and the amplitudes of adjacent outputs will fluctuate, which will cause deterioration of the width of the magnetic scale.

Increasing the pitch of the magnetic grating in order to increase the resolution of the magnetic scale is effective in simplifying the configuration of the detection circuit, but reducing the pitch of the magnetic grating in this way also improves magnetic recording. As is clear from the principle, the clearance between the magnetic head and the detection surface of the magnetic scale must be reduced.

Now, as mentioned above, a parallel bias magnetic field is applied to the magnetosensitive element 5 by the magnet 6.7. Therefore, the magnetic sensing element 5
The direction of bias tapping applied to the predetermined force IK can be accurately set. This gives the magnet shape anisotropy or magnetization direction iJ! Even if there is an error, the direction of the bias magnetic field can be determined accurately, which eliminates the disadvantages of the conventional 5K[B element, in which the output is DC biased and the outputs that match 1lj1 move smoothly. .

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which projections 12 and 13 are provided on the inside of the front cover 2 when the S stones 6 and 7 are attached to the ju+g of the substrate 4. This protrusion is formed by a press or a mold, and by making it face the substrate 4, it can be set with a significantly reduced clearance in the same manner as in the previous embodiment.
