Abstract
A magnetic disk unit having a head suspension mechanism which can reduce the flying height of a slider and can stably fly the slider. The head suspension mechanism includes a spring arm having one end portion for supporting the slider so that when a magnetic disk is at rest, the slider is kept in contact with the magnetic disk, while when the magnetic disk is rotated, the slider is moved to fly from the magnetic disk by dynamic pressure due to air flow caused by rotation of the magnetic disk. The spring arm has a bent portion formed so that a transducer mounted on the slider approaches the magnetic disk.
