Magnetic recording apparatus with magnetic head on slider having applied load larger than buoyant force acting on slider so that gap between magnetic head and magnetic disk is smaller than total thickness of protective layer and lubricating layer on disk

摘要

A magnetic recording device includes a magnetic disk for storing information, a magnetic head for writing and reading information relative to the magnetic disk, a device for rotating the magnetic disk relative to the magnetic head in such a manner that speed of said magnetic disk relative to the magnetic head is 6 to 40 m/s at an innermost track of the magnetic disk, and a device for applying a load to the magnetic head so that a gap between the magnetic disk and the magnetic head disposed in opposed relation to the magnetic disk can be kept to not more than 0.1 . mu.m.
