A magnetic disk apparatus wherein a magnetic member mounted on a bobbin made of a non-magnetic material is disposed at a specific position effective for the full range of movement of a transducer head such that the magnetic member and thus the head is attracted by the leakage flux in a VCM, and the attracting force thus derived has a component that produces a rotation moment in only one direction around the pivot axis of the head to bias the head toward a non-data portion of a data storage disk.

A magnetic disk apparatus includes a base coupled to a supporting frame by means of a damping member so that the vibration caused by the operation of the internal actuator subsides. The damping member may include an adhesive resilient material disposed between the base and the supporting frame.
