  • Patent number: 5936800
    Abstract: An improved slider with controlled fly height and decreased sensitivity to externally applied roll moments. In a two rail embodiment, one of the rails has transverse pressure contourization or edge blend and the other rail has a simple, wide air bearing surface located at the edge of the slider body for maximizing the distance between the rails. The combination of the two rails results in a stiffer slider with increased manufacturing yields.
