Effect of contact conditions during thermo-mechanical contact between a thermal flying height control slider and a disk asperity
نویسندگان
چکیده
A three-dimensional thermo-mechanical model is developed for the transient contact between a thermal flying height control (TFC) slider and a disk asperity. The effect of contact conditions is investigated, including the friction coefficient and the circumferential disk velocity. The damage of the read–write shields due to contacts with disk asperities is studied along with the maximum temperature at the location of the read element. The effect of diameter and material properties of the asperity is also investigated. Strong dependence of deformation and maximum temperature is observed as a function of the diameter and material properties of the asperity. & 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Height- Dependent Asperity Radii of Curvatures in a Contact and Friction Model
The effect of a height-dependent asperity radius of curvature is accounted for in a recently developed scaledependent model of contact and friction. The contact and friction model includes the effects of adhesion, using the Maugis model, and of scale-dependent friction, using the Hurtado and Kim single asperity friction model. This multiasperity model has been modified to include the effect of ...
متن کاملContact and Temperature Rise of Thermal Flying Height Control Sliders in Hard Disk Drives
Contact behavior of thermal flying height control sliders and interfacial temperature rise upon head disk contact is investigated utilizing the resistance change of the read and write element. To achieve contact, the heater element of a TFC slider is energized with constant and square wave input profiles. To estimate the temperature rise during head disk contact, the resistance change of the re...
متن کاملExperimental study of slider dynamics induced by contacts with disk asperities
Vertical vibrations at the slider leading edge exited by a disk asperity were investigated in a drive level system, using laser Doppler vibrometry and acoustic emission (AE) sensors. The flying height change at the leading edge of a thermal flying-height control slider was measured for different power inputs to the heater element. The maximum spacing change at the slider leading edge was found ...

In recent years, thermal actuated flying height control has been implemented in Hard Disk Drives (HDD) to reduce the effect of flying height variations due to manufacturing tolerances or write current introduced pole tip protrusion (Fig. 1). A stable low flying height is necessary to achieve low bit error rates (BER) [1]. Thermal flying height control is used in a “static manner” in current dis...
