Abstract: A head for writing data into and/or reading data out of a recording medium such as a magnetic disc is displaced along a path by a motor such as a voice coil motor. The moving member of the motor is disposed on one side of the path, and another moving member of a speed sensor for detecting the head displacement speed is disposed on the opposite side. As a result, an unbalanced mass arrangement with respect to the path along which the head is displaced will not occur. The signal from the speed sensor can be used, for example, to interrupt a write operation if a mechanical impact occurs. Furthermore, even in an embodiment in which a coil is wound around the moving member of the speed sensor so that the head displacement speed is detected as a voltage induced across the coil as the head is displaced, the motor and the speed sensor are disposed in spaced-apart-relationship with each other and the speed sensor is less susceptible to adverse effects caused by the leakage flux from the motor.

Abstract: In a signal recording and/or reproducing device having a chassis, a read/write head assembly includes a read/write head for sliding in contact with a surface of a moving flexible recording medium and for reading information from and writing information onto the surface of the moving flexible recording medium, and a head supporting plate for elastically supporting the read/write head. The head supporting plate includes a first supporting frame for mounting the read/write head, a second supporting frame elastically connected to the first supporting frame by a first pair of tie bar portions, and a third supporting frame for fixing the head supporting plate to the chassis of the recording and/or reproducing device. The third supporting frame is elastically connected to the second supporting frame by a second pair of tie bar portions.

Abstract: In a data writing and/or reading device in which data is written and/or read out from a rotating recording medium, a head carriage upon which one or more heads are mounted is guided by first and second guide rods to move in a predetermined direction with respect to the recording medium. A member for biasing the head carriage in the direction opposite the direction of a rotating force produced by the friction between the head or heads and the recording medium is provided. This force in the direction of rotation of the recording medium is counteracted so that deviation of the head in the direction of rotation of the recording medium is eliminated.
