    Abstract: A flanged load beam (10;20) in a transducer head suspension assembly is provided with reinforcement means (7;8) which does not increase the height of the load beam. The reinforcement means can be in the form of longitudinal ribs (7) disposed between the flanges (6). The reinforcement means can also be provided by bending over the flanges (6) to form wings (8). Alternatively, the flanges can be bent over towards the centre of the load beam. Provision of such reinforcement means enables the overall height of the load beam to be reduced.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To facilitate a signal wire connection at a top end of load beams in a disk memory device. CONSTITUTION: A flange 26 has a bent part 30. This bent part 30 has a structure bent from a middle portion of a rising part of the flange 26 to further an outside of load beams. A bending width in the flange of this bent part 30 is structured so as to be gradually increased as approaching the top end, and at the top end, the flange 26 has substantially the same face as a base plane 24 of load beams 14, and the top end is structured so as to have a rising part and is connected to a signal exchange head 10 without unwillingly bending a signal wire 20. Accordingly, a vertical flange at the top end of load beams is removed, whereby a connection work region of the signal wire 20 is widened so that the connection works of the signal wire is facilitated.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce reproduction errors by improving the setting accuracy of a reproduction offset generated between the recording head and the reproducing head of a compound type head part. SOLUTION: The recording head records a test pattern on a plurality of tracks to be measured (S2), the amplitude of a regenerative signal by the reproducing head is measured at a plurality of different tracking positions about the respective tracks to be measured (S5), the approximate expression of a profile of the measured amplitude with respect to the tracking positions is found (S6), a position where a maximum value is given in the approximate expression is calculated as a tracking position at which the amplitude of the regenerative signal is maximum, a reproduction offset is calculated on the basis of the tracking position with the maximum amplitude (S7), and the reproduction offset of an optional track is set in a disk device on the basis of the reproduction offset about the tracks to be measured (S10).

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To provide load beams having a small height size and excellent mechanical characteristics and to increase the number of sheets of the disks to be mounted and the number of heads by juxtaposing the side edges of these beams with reinforcing materials having the height not exceeding the height of the side edges nearly parallel therewith. CONSTITUTION: A base part 5 is provided with drawn rib parts 7 as the reinforcing members and the side edges 6 are bent nearly perpendicular to the plane of this base part 5. The side edges 6 are juxtaposed with these drawn rib parts 7 nearly parallel therewith at the height not exceeding the height of the side edges 6. The head suspension load beams 10 are coupled to a head actuator arm 9 by means of a mounting block 4. Then, the mechanical characteristics and more particularly rigidity of the load beams are not impaired even if the height size of the load beams is reduced to half the min. value of the conventional beams. As a result, the number of the sheets of the disks to be mounted and the number of the heads are increased without increasing the height size of the magnetic disk device.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the method in which an initialization of a great magneto resistance(GMR) head and a reset are executed and to provided the device for executing the method. SOLUTION: The yield of the GMR head is improved by executing the initialization, in which the magnetization direction of the free layer of the GMR head (mounted on the hatched surface of a slider 14) is directed by an external magnetic field, and is executed in the opposite direction again. Moreover, a discrimination is made to determine whether the magnetization direction of a pin stopping layer of the head is temporarily reversed or not and damaged GMR head is selected in an early stage. Then, the magnetization direction of the layer is returned in a positive direction, a semi-static test is conducted to check the reproduced response of the head and a safe efficient reset is executed. The reset is conducted by not only applying a pulse but also is executed while applying an external magnetic field in the pin stopping direction or only applying a strong magnetic field. Note that a tool 500 is commonly used throughout the process levels for an initialization, a reset and a reproducing response.
