Slider¢??s Unstable High Flying Height after Loading and Subsequent Stabilization

Abstract

We present unstable high flying loading and subsequent stabilization of flying attitude, using as an example a Pemto slider (measuring 1.235x0.7x0.23mm3) design for micro-drive application. We then characterize the effects of various parameters such as PSA and loading speed on the phenomenon, using the U.C. Berkeley CML Load/Unload Code for simulation and analysis.stabilization air bearing
