Abstract:
A magnetic recording apparatus for performing at least one of recording signals onto at least one magnetic recording disk and reading out the signals from the magnetic recording disk, comprising,a support arm movable with respect to the magnetic recording disk, a first actuator for moving the support arm with respect to the magnetic recording disk, at least one magnetic head for performing through the magnetic head the at least one of recording the signals onto the magnetic recording disk and reading out the signals from the magnetic recording disk, a pair of support members at least one of which holds the magnetic head thereon and each of which is connected to the first actuator through the support arm to be driven by the first actuator through the support arm, and a pair of second actuators for moving respectively the support members with respect to the support arm so that the support members are respectively moved with respect to the magnetic recording disk by the first actuator and the second actuators, wherein the second actuators move simultaneously the support members respectively with respect to the support arm in respective directions opposite to each other.
