AIR-CUSHION SLIDER WHICH KEEPS RECORDING HEAD WITH RESPECT TO MOBILE RECORD MEDIUM AND RECORDING SYSTEM WITH DISK DRIVE Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: information storage equipment. SUBSTANCE: device has surface for generation of air cushion and for movement of magnetic transducer over air layer over moving magnetic record medium. Said air layer provides slider with possibility to move near disk surface at almost constant space from it independently from air flow shift angle. Slider has two different and non-symmetrical guides which are located about its longitudinal axis. Said guides use viscosity of air flow for generation of air lubrication layer during movement of record medium. EFFECT: increased functional capabilities. 22 cl 14 dwg
