Abstract

A recording head for use in magnetic storage devices is disclosed. The recording head includes a transducer that is bi-directionally movable with respect to a surface of the magnetic storage medium, thereby enabling improved positioning of the transducer during recording head read and write operations. The recording head includes an interleaver assembly having a plurality of flexure assemblies. Electrostatic charges are employed in the flexure assemblies for selective actuation to provide a motional force to the transducer.
