ABSTRACT:
A head driving system for a magnetic disk includes a controller which drives the head slider radially during times before takeoff and after landing of the head slider. A decrease in sliding abrasion per unit area of the takeoff and landing zone due to the radial movement of the slider results in less net abrasion damage and prolongs the life of the disk apparatus.
