PURPOSE: To obtain a magnetic head slider capable of reducing the change and fluctuation of floating height.
CONSTITUTION: Positive pressure 6 is generated on the magnetic head slider utilizing negative pressure by the inflow of a viscous air flow 1 against a pressing load 4 due to a pivot, etc., and also the negative pressure 5 getting near a magnetic disk is generated by the inflow of air viscous flow to a curved groove. Then, the center generating the negative pressure 5 is positioned to the inflow side of air viscous flow than the position of pressing load 4 so that the space 12 between the magnetic head element and magnetic disk is kept to be constant by equalizing the approaching force getting near the magnetic disk 10 due to the pressing load 4 and negative pressure 5 and the floating force due to the positive pressure 6. Thus, by means of making the position of magnetic head element to a steady point, i.e., a rotational center of substantial balancing, the reduction of variance and fluctuations of the floating height is attained.
