Abstract:
A magnetic head slider, comprising:a body;a first rail plane arranged on one side of the body for generating a first floating force;at least one first pad arranged near an air outflow end of the first rail plane;a second rail plane arranged on the other side of the body for generating a second floating force;at least one second pad arranged near an air outflow end of the second rail plane on condition that a distance from the rearmost second pad closest to the air outflow end of the second rail plane is greater than a distance from the rearmost first pad to the air outflow end of the first rail plane; andan electro-magnetic transducing device arranged on an air outflow end of the second rail plane;wherein the magnetic head slider is inclined in a floating state in which the magnetic head slider floats over a surface of a disk medium such that said air outflow end of said first and second rail planes is lower than a corresponding air inflow end of said first and second rail planes and said air outflow end of said second rail plane is generally lower than said air outflow end of said first rail plane.
