Dynamic Testing for Evaluation of HDI Robustness

Advanced Tribology

Abstract

As area density increases in magnetic recording, spacing between head and disk is required to be below lOnm. Under such ultra-low spacing, it necessitates that ABS design should be good at not only static performances, e.g. flying height, pitch & roll, but also dynamic performances, e.g. HDI (head disk interface) robustness.

In this paper, we developed a new dynamics testing to evaluate the HDI robustness using AE sensor and LDV. The HDI robustness will be discussed in terms of ABS design concepts.
