Abstract
Sliding noise characteristics can be considerably improved without degrading electromagnetic conversion characteristics and abrasion resistance characteristics in a recording/reproducing operation. A depth (H) of a contact width regulating groove (21) is set to be smaller than a contact width (W) of a magnetic recording medium sliding surface (a), and is set to a predetermined value of 25 .mu.m or more and 45 .mu.m or less. A depth (H) of the contact regulating groove is set to a predetermined value of 37.+-.12 .mu.m, the contact width (W) on the magnetic recording medium sliding surface (a) is set to a predetermined value of 55.+-.6 .mu.m, and a value (R) of a corner portion of the contact width regulating groove is set to a predetermined value of 16 .mu.m or less.
