<p>A head slider comprising a slider main body (22) having a pair of slits (35) cut therein to extend from an outflow side end surface to an inflow side end. The slider main body (22) has a movable side block body (38) defined therein between the slits (35). The action of the slits (35) creates room for displacement of the movable side block body (38). The action of a flexible plate (44) allows displacement of the movable side block body (38) relative to a fixed side block (37). A head element (23) is mounted on the outflow side end surface of the movable side block body (38). Such head element (23) enables the gap length to be relatively simply controlled by the film thickness of a nonmagnetic layer which is formed by lamination. Since thickness reduction of films can be relatively simply realized, minimization of the gap length can be achieved relatively simply. The mass of the movable side block body (38) is much less than that of the slider main body (22), ensuring quick movement of the head element (23).</p> |
