A magnetic disk device comprises a magnetic disk in which a data zone is
formed. An actuator has a voice coil and a head slider carrying a
magnetic head, the actuator being swung to move the magnetic head over
the disk between an innermost position of the data zone and an outermost
position of the data zone. A magnet has a magnetization center and is
opposed to the voice coil so that a voice coil motor which swings the
actuator is formed, the magnet having a north pole and a south pole
confronting each other via the magnetization center. The magnetic disk
device is provided so that a deviation of a center of the voice coil from
the magnetization center when the magnetic head is in the innermost
position of the data zone is substantially equal to a deviation of the
center of the voice coil from the magnetization center when the magnetic
head is in the outermost position of the data zone.
