Abstract
A recording and/or reproducing device having a magnetic head unit includes a slider having a magnetic head element fitted to the front end thereof, a head support arm carrying the slider fitted to the front end thereof and urged toward a disk and a ramp member for guiding the slider fitted to the head support arm from a stand-by position to a recording/reproducing position for recording information signals on or reproducing information signals from the disk and is adapted to record information signals on or reproduce information signals from the rotating disk. The ramp member pushes up the head support arm in a twisted state, so as to make the end of the slider located upstream relative to the other end in the sense of rotation of the disk to face upward relative to the disk when the slider is driven to move between the stand-by position and the recording/reproducing position.
