Method and apparatus for releasing a magnetic head.

摘要

Releasing adhesion between a magnetic head (2) and a magnetic disk (1) by radially moving the head before the disk begins to rotate is accomplished by compressing and releasing an elastic stopper means (33a, 33b) by driving a head actuator motor (32) with drive current such that unwanted vibration or bounce back of the head is prevented. The drive current gradually decreases to release the stopper, and preferably gradually increases when the stopper is initially compressed.
