Abstract

A servo head in a disk file data storage system includes at least one shield which acts to block radiation emanating from a nearby data head and thus reduce noise induced in the servo head. The shield is located on either side of an essentially flat conducting coil in a servo transducer, or a data transducer or both. The shield may be either a single layer of material or multiple layers.
