AbstractThe rampload process of the magnetic head-disk interface was investigated by using a laser Doppler vibrometer, a high-speed video camera, and an optical surface analyzer. The velocity signal was processed to yield a radial position versus time, from which the instant of the load-tab/ramp engagement was determined. The video images indicated that a relatively high unloading velocity could lead...
