摘要: An arcuate scan tape drive for transferring data to and from a data tape (26). Situated within a base (22) and cover (24) is a head carrier assembly (36) for recording data onto and playing back data from the data tape which advances in a longitudinal direction past the head carrier assembly. The head carrier assembly (36) includes an inside-out spin motor (40) for rotating the head carrier assembly and a pivot motor (72) at the rear of the head carrier assembly for pivoting the head carrier assembly in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of advancement of the tape (26). The spin motor (40) and pivoting motor (72) receive servo signals from a controller so as to continuously adjust the position of the core elements (46) with respect to the data tape so as to align the core elements with the arcuately-shaped data tracks (118).
摘要翻译: 用于将数据传输到数据磁带和从数据磁带传输数据的弧形扫描磁带驱动器,包括具有四个侧壁和盖子的底座,该底座和盖子一起具有3 + E,1/2 + EE英寸外形尺寸。 位于基座和盖内的是头托架组件,用于将数据记录到数据带上并从中回放数据,数据带沿纵向延伸穿过头托架组件。 在一个实施例中,头托架组件相对于数据带以倾斜角度设置,并且前表面是锥形的。 因此,在头部托架组件的旋转期间,在读取或写入操作期间,记录头靠近数据带,但在其它时间与数据带隔开。 还设置在基座内的是用于前进数据带的主导轴马达组件,以及用于接收和固定数据带盒以便当磁带先进通过磁头托架组件时使磁带正确定位的磁带盒定位机构。 头托架组件包括用于使头托架组件旋转的内出旋转马达和在头托架组件后部的枢转马达结构,用于使头托架组件在垂直于带前进方向的平面中枢转。 旋转电动机和枢转结构从控制器接收伺服信号,以便相对于数据带连续地调节芯元件的位置,以使芯元件与弓形数据轨迹对准。
