Abstract :
Tribological problems of head crash and stiction become more serious in proportion to the lowering of the fly-height. In order to solve these problems, a self-peeling suspension which has a design philosophy that is quite different from a conventional suspension has been developed. This suspension allows a head to rotate backward under the effect of frictional force; i.e., the head lifts on the front part when the frictional force acts on it. The performance of this suspension has been confirmed by measuring various physical quantities related to head movement in CSS (contact-start-stop) by means of various sensors
