Abstract:
1. A read-write head comprising: a first block; a carrier connected movably with the first block carrying a read-write element, whereby said carrier is connected resiliently movable with said first block by at least one leaf spring; and two electromagnetic actuator devices with at least one electromagnetic element to create magnetic forces which are acting upon the carrier, each of the two electromagnetic actuator devices having at least one actuator element connected to or integrated in the carrier, wherein the read-write element when viewed in a reading direction is located between both of the two electromagnetic actuator devices and is perpendicularly offset to a plane through the two electromagnetic actuator elements, so that an actuation of both of the two electromagnetic actuator devices results in a readjustment of a distance between the read-write element and a data surface to accomplish a height fine adjustment, and whereby a different operation of said two electromagnetic actuator devices results in a tilting or turning of the read-write element along an axis essentially parallel to a read-write direction.
