Magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus

摘要

A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus comprises a magnetic head having magnetic cores in which at least portions thereof in the vicinity of a gap are made of Mn-Zn ferrite single crystal and planes of the magnetic cores forming a principal magnetic circuit are formed by {110} planes of the ferrite and <100> directions contained in the {110} planes are inclined to a surface facing a magnetic recording medium, and means for relatively moving the magnetic recording medium in an opposite and parallel direction to a projection vector on said surface facing said recording medium, of a vector directed from a site far from the surface facing the magnetic recording medium to a site near said surface in the <100> direction projected on the surface facing the magnetic recording medium. The present magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus exhibits both high wear resistance and excellent read/write characteristic.
