Magnetic transfer apparatus and magnetic recording medium
View Patent ↗A magnetic transfer apparatus writing a servo signal by magnetically transferring to a magnetic recording medium, and an optical type inspection apparatus for optically inspecting scratch or foreign matter on the magnetic recording medium wherein a characteristic grease is used for these apparatuses are disclosed. Grease used in the magnetic transfer apparatus or the optical type inspection apparatus generates sulfur type gas in amount less than or equal to 0.5 ppb.
1. An optical type inspection apparatus for optically inspecting scratch or foreign matter on a magnetic recording medium, comprising:
an optical system for irradiating a light on said magnetic recording medium to inspect a surface of said magnetic recording medium;
an automatic focusing shaft for focusing said optical system;
a transporting portion for transporting said magnetic recording medium to said optical system;
wherein the optical type inspection apparatus has a plurality of movable portions using grease
wherein total amounts of a sulfur type gas generated from said plurality of the movable portions is less than or equal to 0.5 ppb.
2. The optical type inspection apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the total amount of sulfur type gas is less than or equal to 0.35 ppb.
