In magnetic disk drives, the disk flutter due to high-rotational speed causes the increase of the head-positioning error. It is important to clear the mechanism of the head-positioning error caused by the disk flutter. This paper conducts the experiments to verify the mechanism proposed in the former report. The experiment was conducted by comparing the head-positioning error predicted by the proposed mechanism with the measured head-positioning error signal. It is confirmed that the proposed mechanism can predict the head-positioning error within the 10% error. The former reports also said that the flutter transfer ratio defined in the report could decrease the head-positioning error without reducing the amplitude of the disk flutter. This paper also verifies it experimentally. In the experiment, the thickness of the slider was changed to make the flutter transfer ratio small. This paper also proposes the method of making the beam angle of the gimbal slant to make the flutter transfer ratio small. The effectiveness was confirmed by the simulation.
