In the experiments, the spreading characteristics of ultra-thin liquid lubricant films have been investigated by using the disks with two kinds of lubricants which have different end-groups. The effect of molecularly thin lubricant films on nano-spacing flying head slider hysteresis behavior for touch-down and take-off process also has been studied. In addition, the behavior of two kinds of lubricants films for contact sliders has been investigated. Based on these experiments, it may be concluded that the functional end-group does affect the tribological performance of lubricants in head-disk interface.","PeriodicalId":445247,"journal":{"name":"APMRC 2004 Asia-Pacific Magnetic Recording Conference, 2004.","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115093885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of rotational speed and form factor on the dissipation power loss are analyzed and compared to experimental results using 3.5\", 2.5\" and 1\" disks. The torque coefficients for laminar and turbulent models are derived for various enclosure conditions. We implement experiments using a vacuum chamber and calculate frictional power loss by disk rotation. For a 1-inch disk, the power dissipation agrees well with the laminar model, which is inversely proportional to the half power of Reynolds number. The frictional power consumption by 3.5-inch disk is similar to the air turbulent model. Finally, we propose the drive enclosure geometry to minimize the aerodynamic power loss based on the experimental results.","PeriodicalId":445247,"journal":{"name":"APMRC 2004 Asia-Pacific Magnetic Recording Conference, 2004.","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121734301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
