ABSTRACT:
A diverging rail edge geometry for an air bearing slider. The air bearing slider provides reduced sensitivity to skew and roll static attitude without contributing to significant increases in cost and complexity. A support structure is formed with an air bearing surface having at least one air bearing rail, pad or other structure disposes thereon. The air bearing pad or rail is formed having at least one edge diverging from the side edges of the support structure. The edges of the rails may also be curved.
