Abstract
An electromagnetic disk drive system including a rigid disk and electromagnetic read/write head structure and elongate flexure structure which cooperatively offer unique features and performance in the head/disk interface region. The head structure and flexure structure, in one form of the invention, are unitary and integrated and in another form are articulated. Both forms of the invention perform with substantially continuous dynamic contact with the recording surface of the disk, and both are characterized by a low effective mass and low contact force between the head and disk surface.
