| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a magnetic head which can be kept in stable contact with a magnetic tape and has improved production efficiency, a manufacturing method therefor, and a magnetic tape device. The magnetic head according to the present invention includes a substrate and two auxiliary members, having a tape bearing surface to be in sliding contact with a magnetic tape. Reproducing and recording elements in alignment with each other along a tape running direction are arranged in the substrate along a tape width direction. The two auxiliary members are joined to two ends, respectively, of the substrate, constituting the tape bearing surface together with the substrate. The substrate or the two auxiliary members are formed with slopes extending from join-faces between the substrate and the two auxiliary members to the tape bearing surface to make clearances for the magnetic tape. Since the running magnetic tape can be drawn to the clearances by negative pressure generated at the clearances, it can be held in parallel with the tape bearing surface.
