摘要:
A method for inspecting a head unit moving device is characterized by having the steps of running a inspection use tape in which a servo signal is written displaced in a width direction of a magnetic tape at a predetermined frequency and amplitude; measuring a position of a head unit practically moved in a width direction of the inspection use tape in response to the servo signal; and calculating a difference between the position and a position to be instructed so as to move the head unit in response to the servo signal, wherein the head unit moving device moves the head unit with a servo signal reading head, a data signal recording head, and a data signal reproducing head in the width direction of the magnetic tape in response to the servo signal read from the magnetic tape by the servo signal reading head.

Disclosed is a servo writer which forms servo bands on information recording media so as to enable a drive to track the servo bands with great accuracy by using a recording/reproducing head. The servo writer includes a driving mechanism for running a tape-shaped information recording medium, a servo pattern writing means for writing servo patterns on the running tape-shaped information recording medium, thereby forming servo bands thereon, and a tape edge forming mechanism for cutting evenly an edge of the running tape-shaped information recording medium, so that the edge becomes parallel to the servo bands.

A magnetic tape includes two servo tracks respectively extending in the longitudinal direction of the magnetic tape from the tape-width-direction two end portions of the magnetic tape, and a data area interposed between the two servo tracks. The azimuth angle &thgr;° of the data track of the data area satisfies an equation of 0 ≤ θ ≤ tan - 1 ( 10 p a × L ) , where a data track pitch is expressed as p (m), a magnetic tape width is expressed as L (m) and the greatest dimension change rate is expressed as (a) (%). Since the azimuth angle &thgr;° is determined in this manner, even in the case where the magnetic tape is deformed in shape and/or changed in dimension, an offtrack error can be prevented and thus, the data track can be traced in the data area accurately.

Disclosed is a magnetic tape which contributes to a high recording density, and which achieves an enhanced flexibility in a width of a data track and a data format. The magnetic tape includes servo tracks being recorded thereon. These servo tracks contain respective servo signals, and are arranged lengthwise and adjacent to one another over a whole of a width or a part of the magnetic tape. Further, each of the servo tracks includes address signals being recorded thereon at predetermined intervals in isolation from the corresponding servo signals. These address signals indicate their respective locations of corresponding one of the servo tracks and their respective lengthwise locations on the magnetic tape. In addition, the servo signals are read from the respective servo bands, and are used to adjust tracking of a magnetic head on the magnetic tape.

A recording tape cartridge houses a reel including a hub around which recording tape is wound and at least part of which is formed by a resin. The rigidity (modulus of elasticity) y in the radial direction of the hub and the creep deformation ratio x of the recording tape satisfy the conditions of y≧87.3 exp(21.6x) and x>0.1. By setting the rigidity of the reel hub to match the creep deformation ratio of the recording tape so as to satisfy this relationship, creep deformation of the recording tape can be controlled at the smallest cost.
