Attenuation of lateral tape motion due to frictional interaction with a cylindrical guide
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lateral tape motion (LTM) is a function of tape path and tape properties, design parameters such as speed, tension, and friction between tape and tape path components. This investigation deals with the LTM of a tape moving over the surface of a cylindrical guide. Starting from the equation of motion for a moving tape on a cylindrical guide surface, the effects of friction, tape properties and design parameters are examined by calculating the ratio of LTM before and after a cylindrical guide. Attenuation of LTM is found to be mainly dependent on the guide radius and the wrap angle. & 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Reducing the Magnetic Tape/guide Friction Coefficient by Laser Surface Texturing: Experimental Analysis
The friction coefficient is an important parameter in designing magnetic tape transports. We have introduced laser surface texturing to reduce the friction coefficient between guides and magnetic tape. The surface features enhance the formation of an air bearing and hence, reduce the friction coefficient. INTRODUCTION Lateral tape motion (LTM) is defined as the time-dependent motion of the tape...

Air-lubricated foil bearings are used in a variety of applications such as turbomachinery, journal bearings, dentistry equipment, etc. [1–3]. One of the most intricate applications of air-lubricated foil bearings can be found in magnetic tape drives [4], where a magnetic tape moves over a read/write head and tape drive components such as guides (stationary) and rollers (rotating). Friction is a...

Cylindrical Frictional Damper (CFD) is a new revolutionary frictional based mechanical damper. Unlike the other types of frictional dampers, CFDs do not utilize bolts to produce friction between contact surfaces. These dampers consist of two main parts, the inner shaft and the external cylinder. These two parts are assembled such that one is shrink-fitted inside the other. In this investigation...
