Design and Performance of a Magnetic Head for a High-Density Tape Drive
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design of a magnetic head for use in the tape drive portion of the IBM 3480 Magnetic Tape Subsystem required that advances be made in track density and linear recording density while meeting requirements for signal quality, manufacturability, and reliability. The design that was developed to fulfill these needs combines ferrite pole-pieces, magnetoresistive read elements, and planar-deposited write turns. This paper describes the read and write elements of the head and the approach used in the selection of the design parameters.

Design of a dual stage actuator tape head with high-bandwidth track following capability
As tape recording density increases, high-frequency track following capability of the tape head actuator becomes more important. This paper details the mechanical design and experimental analysis of a dual state actuator tape head. The dual stage actuator design combines a traditional voice coil motor for low frequency track following with a piezoelectric actuator for high-frequency track follo...

A multi-channel Optical Head has been developed to be incorporated with an Optical Tape Drive that enables greater than 1TB capacity and greater than 25 MB/s data transfer rate on a 0.5 mil thick, 0.5 inch wide optical tape that fits in a 3480 style cartridge. The optical design has been optimized to perform at 532 nm with maximum through put in the write path. With use of a 0.6 NA objective le...
متن کاملActive Tape Steering Control System
Abstract: Lateral tape motion (LTM) in tape drives hinders accurate servo head positioning and can cause damage to the tape. It is one of the major obstacles to developing high density, high performance tape drives. This paper presents the development an active tape steering system to reduce LTM. A robust controller is designed using the Robust Bode (RBode) Plot, which translates an robust perf...

Introduction Lateral tape motion (LTM) is the time-dependent displacement of magnetic tape perpendicular to the tape transport direction. Lateral tape motion may cause track misregistration between the read/write head and a previously written track, thereby limiting the recording density that can be achieved [1]. Currently, the track density of typical magnetic tape drives is approximately 40 t...
متن کاملNonlinear Model of Tape Wound Core Transformers
Recently, tape wound cores due to their excellent magnetic properties, are widely used in different types of transformers. Performance prediction of these transformers needs an accurate model with ability to determine flux distribution within the core and magnetic loss. Spiral structure of tape wound cores affects the flux distribution and always cause complication of analysis. In this paper, a...
