Abstract
A head transfer apparatus includes a magnetic substance disposed on a movable unit assembly driven by a magnetic circuit in a tracking direction. The magnetic substance is operative, under the force of a leakage flux of the magnetic circuit, to produce a magnetic force to urge a bearing of the movable unit assembly against a guide, thereby controlling a clearance between the bearing and the guide or lowering a bearing pressure imposed on the bearing by the weight of the movable unit assembly.
