摘要:
A single reel data storage tape cartridge is described that includes a housing having a tape access window. A single tape reel assembly is rotatably disposed within the housing and includes a hub about which a storage tape is wrapped. A tape guide is disposed within the housing adjacent the single tape reel assembly, opposite the tape access window, and is configured to define a pathway of the storage tape from the single tape reel assembly to the tape access window and limit lateral motion of the storage tape.

A data storage cartridge (10) includes a housing (12) having a first section (13) and a second section (14) operatively connected to each other. A first positioning member (40) and second positioning member (50) are operatively connected to the housing and are in axial alignment with each other. A leader pin (30) is positioned in the positioning members 40, 50 and held in position by the two-sided springs 44. The springs 44 are in position around a locating member 41, 51.

A data storage tape guiding system is configured to guide a data storage tape along a tape path crossing a read/write head. The data storage tape guiding system includes data storage tape supply components and data storage tape take-up components. An entirety of the supply components is disposed on a common first plane on a first side of the read/write head. An entirety of the take-up components is disposed on a common second plane on a second side of the read/write head. The common first plane is different than the common second plane.

A tape reel assembly for a tape drive system component, such as a data storage tape cartridge, is described that includes a hub. The hub defines an inner surface and a tape winding surface, and at least a portion of the hub is made of plastic. The tape winding surface has an effective radial modulus of greater than 0.3 million pounds-per-square-inch.
