PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a floating head slider and an information recording/ reproducing device wherein the incursion of lubricants or dust into the slider is limited to a minimum by contriving the shape of the air lubricant surface of the slider, the slider is stably floated, and high reliability is provided for information recording/reproducing. SOLUTION: An air lubricant surface formation section 50 is provided with a first air lubricant surface 61 formed on an opposite part 30 side, a second air lubricant surface 62 formed after a first step part 81 formed from the first air lubricant surface 61 toward a surface part 32 side, and a third air lubricant surface 63 formed after a second step part 82 formed from the second air lubricant surface 62 toward the surface part 32 side. End surface parts 100 and 103 formed toward the surface part 32 side of the second air lubricant surface 62 are formed to be extended to an air inlet end 40 side, and boundaries between the end surface parts 100 and 103 of the second air lubricant surface 62 and the air inlet end 40 match each other.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress fluctuations in the rotation speed of a spindle motor generated by the tilted spindle of a spindle motor using a fluid bearing. SOLUTION: R faces 42 are formed on the upper and lower edge parts of the outer periphery of a rotating disc part 25 which integrally rotates with the spindle 24 of the spindle motor 21 using the fluid bearing 23. The R faces are formed in mirror finish with the surface roughness not greater than Ra 0.3s, preferably not greater than Ra 0.1s.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To install a wiring member to a floating head slider at the shortest wiring length. SOLUTION: The bending type head actuator is so constituted that the wiring of a flexible printed circuit board 95 to the floating head slider 16 of the bending type head actuator 13 is extracted to the outer side of a head arm 14 through the inner side of the bending part 13a of the bending type head actuator 13.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase driving torque in an initial range during loading while a bent type head actuator and a VCM are miniaturized. SOLUTION: In order to miniaturized a bent type head actuator 13 and a VCM 18, and increase driving torque in an initial range during the loading of bent type head actuator 13 by the VCM 18, a projected part 82d is formed in one end of the outer periphery of a magnet 82, and an outer corner part continuous from the radial direction part of a magnet 82 is overlapped on the projected part of the magnet in the bent type head actuator.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To arrange a wiring member in a float head slider so that the wire has the shortest length. SOLUTION: The wiring of a flexible printed circuit board 95 in the head slider 16 of a bent type actuator 13 is drawn through the inside of the bent part 13a of the bent type head actuator 13 to the outside of a head arm 14.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To record and carry almost all information owned by an individual by utilizing a removable hard disk device mountable on portable equipment especially. SOLUTION: This hard disk device is held by video equipment 2, 3, 4 and 5 and video data or the like are recorded and reproduced at the data transfer rate of 30 [Mbps] or higher. The capacity of 2 [GB] or more is secured by a hard disk whose diameter is 1.8 inch or less by a so-called sample servo.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize low load torque and high rigidity by controlling the temperature of a fluid bearing, which supports a spindle motor, in a proper range against change in ambient temperatures in use. SOLUTION: While a spindle motor 2 or a magnetic head arm mechanism 3 among others are assembled in a base 1, a magnetic disk 5 mounted on a cassette case 4 is rotatably driven by the spindle motor 2, with various pieces of information recorded and reproduced by a magnetic head 6. The spindle motor 2 is provided with a fluid bearing 22, in proximity to which a Peltier 10 element and a temperature sensor are installed. Then, by discriminating temperature in the fluid bearing 22 with the temperature sensor and comparing it with a prescribed set value, the polarity and level of an applied voltage are controlled for the Peltier element 10, so that the temperature of the fluid bearing 22 is controllably maintained in a specific range.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a head driving mechanism for hard disk drive device capable of immediately returning a magnetic head to its original recording track within a short idle running time even when the magnetic head is shifted from the recording track during recording/reproducing due to shocks. SOLUTION: This device is provided with a magnetic head 5 provided in a head arm 3 via a suspension 4, and a two-stage actuator composed of a fine movement driving mechanism 6 having leaf springs 8a and 8b bent and deformed only in a direction horizontal to the head arm 3 and a driving coil 11, and a rough movement driving mechanism 7 screw-engaged with the head arm 3 by putting a ball screw 15 having a motor 16 through the head arm 3, and having a guide ball 17 put through the head arm 3 in parallel with the ball screw 15.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a disk cartridge freely attachably/detachably used for a disk drive device and capable of efficiently collecting dust, etc., in the inside. SOLUTION: A filter means 15 is provided for collecting dust, etc., contained in an air flow generated with the rotation of a disk 2. The filter means 15 is arranged on a corner space part 11 firstly positioned from an opening part 9 for recording/reproducing where a head actuator 32 enters against the rotating direction of the disk 2. By the filter means 15, the dust, etc., contained in the outside air flowing in from the opening part 9 for recording/reproducing is collected to attain the clean up of a circulating air flow.
