Method for correcting floating type magnetic head device

A correcting method for a floating-type magnetic head device for use with a recording medium, the floating-type magnetic head device comprising:

• a load beam made of a metallic material;
• a flexure, having an elastically flexible tongue piece located on the load beam adjacent to the recording medium, made of a metallic material and connected to the load beam;
• and
• a head body fixed on the surface of the tongue piece, adjacent to the recording medium,
• wherein during rotation of the recording medium, the head body floats over the recording medium, the correcting method comprising:
• temporarily mounting the floating-type magnetic head device with respect to a rotating disk equivalent surface so as to float the head body;
• measuring a roll-angle corresponding amount at the end of the load beam;
• and
• correcting the floating-type magnetic head device on the basis of the roll-angle corresponding amount at the end of the load beam by bending the load beam in a direction such that a roll angle of the head body with respect to the rotating disk equivalent surface is minimized.
