Floating type magnetic head assembly

摘要

A floating type magnetic head assembly comprises: a magnetic head constituting a first slider; a second slider in which the first slider is so supported as to be movable in straight line only in a direction perpendicular to a magnetic recording disc and as to project outwardly beyond the second slider toward the recording disc; a cantilever arm formed from a thin elastic plate and supporting at its distal end the second slider over the recording medium, the second slider being thus supported in a freely rotatable state about a fulcrum in a form of a projection for applying pressing force from the arm on the second slider on the side thereof oppositely remote from the recording disc; and force exerting means for exerting a pressing force on the first slider by way of its supporting means.
