A floating magnetic head of the type in which a slider is joined to the free end of a magnetic head support device includes wings provided in the free end section of the magnetic head support device and engaged with notches provided in slider sections excluding the ABS surface thereof, thereby providing a high level of resistance to impacts and vibrations. Further, a floating magnetic head of the type in which a slider having a magnetic core is attached to the front end of a suspension element through the intermediation of a flexure includes: a recess formed in the middle section of a flexure attachment surface of the slider and having a bottom surface to which the flexure is attached; walls formed on both sides of the recess; and grooves for weight balance adjustment formed in the walls, whereby the center of gravity of the slider coincides with the position of the load protuberance not only in the height direction of the slider but also in the horizontal direction of the same, so that the a stable floating attitude can be maintained during seeking operation, etc.
