<p>A micro-mechanical actuated transducer head on an air bearing slider is disclosed herein. The transducer head (1) is made to move relative to the slider assembly (2) by the incorporation of an actuating material (3) intermediately to the slider assembly and head. The actuating material (3) can be: electromechanical, piezoelectric, electrostrictive, thermal, pneumatic, or hydraulic. The actuating material can be incorporated either integral to the head/slider assembly or made to bridge the slider to head attachment. With the incorporation of said actuatable material, said head can be moved micro-mechanically relative to said slider effecting relative and controllable motion either horizontally and/or vertically.</p> |
