A recording/reproducing apparatus () is provided with: a first substrate () on which a recording medium () is mounted; and a second substrate () to which a recording/reproducing head (), which performs information recording and information reproduction on the recording/reproducing medium is fixed, wherein the second substrate is relatively displaced in a predetermined direction substantially parallel to the first substrate with respect to the first substrate, a particulate () is placed in a gap between the first substrate and the second substrate, the particulate can be displaced with displacement of the second substrate, the particulate has a substantially circular cross section in a direction that the second substrate is displaced when the second substrate is displaced.

Recording/reproducing apparatus

A driving apparatus () is provided with: a fixed part () having a fixed-part plane (); and a driven part () having a driven-part plane (), which faces the fixed-part plane, and driven in a direction substantially parallel to the fixed-part plane, a liquid lubricant () is between the fixed-portion plane and the driven-part plane, the driven-part plane faces the fixed-part plane such that the driven-part plane is substantially parallel to the fixed-part plane.
