Abstract: A flying head magnetic transducer assembly comprises a head slider (36) mounted at the free ends of two cantilevered arms (20, 22). The arms (20, 22) comprise rigid centre sections (26) and flexible end sections (28, 30). A flexible tongue (32) is fixed to a ram-plate (40) working in a guideway formed by wall (42) surrounding an aperture in a box-like structure (12). The ram-plate (40) carries an abutment (41) to engage plate (34) on which slider (36) is mounted. … In operation air flow caused by relative movement of the magnetic medium overlying the slider (36) and the slider (36) enters the structure (12) and acts against the ram-plate (40) urging it outwardly of its guideway. Flexure of the tongue (32) permits such movement. When the abutment (41) engages the plate (34), further movement of the ram plate (40) causes movement of the slider accompanied by clockwise flexing of the arm sections (30) and anticlockwise flexing of the arm sections (28).
