Abstract
In order to prevent an occurrence of troubles such as abnormal wear, a self-excited vibration and a forced vibration caused by a friction force in a contact type magnetic head slider, a load beam, which is supported on a proximal end thereof by an actuator, at a distal end of which a magnetic head slider mounting a magnetic head is fixed, and which is for bringing the magnetic head slider into contact with a recording surface of a rotating magnetic disk by a desired load, is curved convexly on the side of the magnetic disk when an assembly is completed. Thus, a center of rotation in a slider pitch direction due to a friction force between the magnetic head slider and the magnetic disk can be positioned below the recording surface of the magnetic disk. In the magnetic head slider, when a friction force is generated, a pitch angle is not changed or a flying height on the heading edge side becomes higher, whereby it is possible to suppress edge wear on the leading edge side, the self-excited vibration and the forced vibration of the suspension due to the varying friction force.
