Abstract: A method and apparatus for transferring information to and from a rigid magnetic disk medium (600) through a recording mechanism (123) mounted within a magnetic contact slider (100). The slider (100) is fashioned such that the trailing edge maintains contact with the magnetic recording medium (600) while the leading edge of the slider is disposed slightly above the medium (600) on an air bearing. An active contact surface (ACS) (104) utilizes a contact blend such that the width of the ABS (105) near a leading edge is greater than the width of the ABS (105) near a trailing edge. The ACS (104) contour allows air to bleed off air from the rear of the slider (100) and causes the trailing edge of the slider (100) to remain essentially in contact with the rigid recording medium surface (600). The ACS (104) contour also provides a "transverse-free zone" for minimizing asperity damage and other harmfull effects of transverse air flow. The load point (F) is located near the leading edge of the contact slider (100). Thus, damage to the medium (600) which occurs during each stick/slip phase of liftoff is minimized.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for "blending" air bearing rails of a magnetic air bearing slider used to carry a recording mechanism over a magnetic recording medium. A slider (304) is held at a fixed angle with respect to at least one essentially flat abrasive blending surface (303). The relative angle of the slider (304) with respect to the plane of the blending surface (303) causes an edge (301) of a slider rail to make contact with the blending surface (303). A relative motion of the blending surface (303) with respect to the slider (304) in two generally orthogonal directions abrades the edge (301) of the slider rail (304), generating a contoured edge, or "blend" on the slider rail (304).
