Abstract
The authors have previously announced the development of a new design concept for flying head slider mechanisms to be used for information storage. These mechanisms operate under completely noncontact start stop mode conditions with magnetic disk media based on negative pressure slider self-loading. The reliability of this system's dynamic self-loading depends on the self-loading velocity, which is defined as the velocity when the slider approaches toward the disk surface under control of suction force provided at the slider air bearing surface hydrodynamically. Therefore, the critical governing factors in its self-loading dynamics were studied in detail in order to achieve high head/disk interface reliability. The disk surface velocity and the initial slider pitch orientation are confirmed to be the most critical parameters for reliable self-loading. The optimum self-loading criteria for the proposed self-loading flying head slider mechanisms have been successfully derived.
