Magnetic head and structure for supporting the same

摘要

A slider (16A) of a magnetic head (10A) is provided with first (12) and second (14) magnetic head parts, and a central groove (18A) so that first (20A) and second (22A) air bearing surfaces separate from each other are formed. An air flow produced between the air bearing surfaces, and a magnetic disk creates an elevating force. A width (A1) of the first air bearing surface at the leading edge is controlled to be larger than a width (A2) at the trailing edge.
