- the switch 67 switches the destination to which the error signal PES is output between the first fine movement control circuit 63a and the second fine movement control circuit 63b in accordance with the sign of the error signal PES input from the calculation circuit 61.
- the first fine movement control circuit 63 a generates a control command S Ha for the heating element 21 a that suppresses the position error of the recording / reproducing element 20 according to the magnitude of the absolute value of the error signal PES input from the switch 67. Then, the heat is output to the heating element 21a via the first heater driver 73a.

- the outer portion 27 is formed to be thicker than the interposition portion 25, so that the outer portion 27 is less likely to deform than the interposition portion 25. According to this, when the member around the heat generating element 21 expands, the expansion of the outer portion 27 is suppressed, and the expansion amount of the interposition part 25 from the heat generating element 21 toward the recording / reproducing element 20 can be increased.
- the outer portion 27 may be configured to be less deformable than the intervening portion 25 by providing a difference in material characteristics, not limited to changing the thickness of the thin film stack portion 42 in this way.
- the material properties of the outer portion 27 are 1) large specific heat and small temperature rise compared to material properties of the intervening portion 25, 2) small thermal expansion coefficient for the same temperature rise, and 3) Young. It is desirable to satisfy at least one of the large rates.
- the reason why the Young's modulus is increased is to make it difficult to deform against stress due to thermal expansion.

Further, the heating element 21 is arranged at a predetermined distance away from the recording / reproducing element 20 in the slider width direction. According to this, since the distance between the end surface 42t in the slider width direction and the recording / reproducing element 20 is relatively short, the opposite side portion 28 is more easily deformed than the interposition portion 25 as in the magnetic head sliders 4D and 4E. As a result, the amount of expansion of the intervening portion 25 from the heating element 21 toward the recording / reproducing element 20 can be increased.
