Abstract
Stability criteria for gas-lubricated sliders for magnetic disk drives are analyzed using Hori's method. Some relations between flotational stability and float factors are discussed. Equations of slider motion for a rigid body slider are expressed using linearized coefficients for gas-lubricated films accounting for second-order slip flow. Stability of the slider is analyzed using the Routh-Hurwitz stability criteria. The calculated results make it clear that some types of sliders become unstable when ambient pressure is reduced, or gas compressibility number is increased. Furthermore, analytical results were confirmed not to conflict with experimental work. Presented as a Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers Paper at the ASME/STLE Tribology Conference in Baltimore, Maryland, October 16–19, 1988
