<p>A method and apparatus for producing dual-zone lubricated magnetic disks. An absorbent medium (206) is held against a selected portion of the surface of a lubricated disk (202). The disk (202) is rotated in relation to the absorbent medium (206), and the absorbent medium (206) removes mobile lubricant from the selected portion of the disk, leaving bonded lubricant in addition to a selected amount of mobile lubricant. Specifically, an absorbent tape (206) is supplied to a roller (210) that holds the tape (206) against a surface of the disk (202), and solvent (220) is applied to the tape (206) and/or disk (202) to facilitate the removal of mobile lubricant. Differential lubricant thicknesses are thus obtained.</p> |
