The tape player seen above consists of three basic parts: the function buttons, the plates (which are not all shown but underneath the gears and connected to them) and the gears. Each function is activated by a button, found on the outside.

In state-of-the-art tape drives a voice coil motor is used to reject disturbances such as lat-eral tape motion (LTM). A schematic of a typical tape trans-port is shown in Fig. 1. LTM is defined as the motion of the tape perpendicular to the tape transport direction.

Sensorless Motor Control For Tape Drives New generations of tape drives are reducing size and cost, while increasing requirements for performance and reliability Size, cost, and performance of reel-motor control components has become an issue In response, ME II has been working on new techniques to eliminate mechanical and optical

function: the constant-speed tape drive, hub drive (take- up reel), magnetic head (hereafter called head), pinch roller slide mechanism, cassette loading/ejecting

unwind (carriage) three parts. There are three motors required to drive these three parts in different axis to implement the basic winding function on the tape winding machine. The Three motors are listed below, and for each of these motors, we will discuss their working principles.

Schematic of a typical tape transport. We present a data-based approach for modeling and controller design of a dual-stage tape servo actuator. Our method uses step response measurements and a...

torque motor has a modular structure, consists of two separate assembly units: a rotor and a stator. The modular motor structure is used for direct integration into the mechanism.

Oct 20, 2016 · The tape transport is intended to guide the tape past the heads at a regular standardized speed (1 7/8 ips or 4,75 cm/s), with a minimum of speed fluctuations (wow&flutter).

this tape is the task of the tape feeder. These tape feeders currently make use of a brushed DC motor and a gearbox to drive the sprocket wheel which transports the tape.

Jan 1, 2018 · The paper presents the numerical and experimental studies of the influence of the torque motor active element on the motor’s torque. The tape active element is a novel type of a motor’s...
