Abstract
Abstract The thermal response of the head-disk interface due to the presence of a thermal contact sensor is investigated. The temperature distribution near the contact sensor is calculated considering changes in the temperature of disk surface. The heat transfer in the air bearing near the contact sensor is determined. The results show that the contact sensor causes a high temperature of the disk surface, which is mainly generated by the conductive heat transfer. The increased disk temperature reduces the heat flux leaving the slider, which, in turn, causes an increased temperature of the contact sensor.
