Abstract
A magnetic head device in which one end of a load beam is bent to form a stepped portion, and a vertical bent surface and a pivot are integrally formed. The vertical bent surface provides a load beam height with respect to the head body 1. A fulcrum, the top portion of the pivot, and virtually the center of a head body are lined up in a straight line in the vertical direction, so that the floating force acting on the head body acts vertically on the fulcrum, so that a moment is not produced. Therefore, the floating posture of the head body becomes stable.
