Slider Posture Effects on Air Bearing in a Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording System

Figure 10

The variations of (a) total bearing force acted on the slider surface and (b) positions of resultant force with varied slider temperatures for different pitch angles. The normalized total force represents the respective total force divided by the total force resulted from the test with °C.
