摘要： An exemplary embodiment provides for a servo-actuated, head actuator design wherein a head carriage includes one or more positional sensor location features that precisely define placement. The sensor location features are configured such that a positional sensor can be mated into a specific sensor location feature. As the head carriage is typically manufactured with great accuracy, the inclusion and placement of the sensor location features will also be extremely accurate. As a result, the location of positional sensors can be pre-defined via the head carriage design such that they will be at a precise location with respect to a magnetic head attached to the head carriage, thereby reducing variation in the location of one or more positional sensors resulting from a tape drive assembly process.

摘要： A composite endless power transmission belt has a resilient plastic outer tubular member with a cylindrical bore, and an inner coil spring member extending wholly and slidably within the cylindrical bore and endlessly through the bore. Assembly is by inserting the spring into the tubular member and screwing a reduced diameter end of the spring into the larger diameter spring end to form an endless belt. The lengths of both members are selected such that when uninstalled, the outer member is in compression and the inner member is in tension, yet when installed, the outer member is partially or completely decompressed and the inner member is in optimal operating tension.

摘要： A method of connecting the free end of an elastomeric cord to the hook of a connector, that is attached to a loop on the other end of the cord, to form an endless drive belt to connect a pair of rotary drive members, which utilizes a novel tool. The tool has a retainer segment and a contact segment comprising a pair of curved contact arms flanking a finger and forming an opening, and a handle. The tool contact segments are placed on one of the rollers with the finger in the roller drive groove and the handle resting on an adjacent roller. The connector and attached cord end loop are placed in a retainer pocket on the finger. The cord free end is then grasped and pulled around both rollers, which clamps the tool to the roller, and onto the hook to form the endless belt. The handle is grasped to raise the tool, pivot it around the roller to unclamp the tool, and slide the tool to disengage it from the drive belt. Alternative forms of the tool eliminate one of the curved segments, or eliminate both curved segments, or replaces the finger with a slot. A preferred form of tool another has a pair of lateral slots defining a finger which enables use with both C-shaped and S-shaped connectors.

摘要翻译： 将弹性体帘线的自由端连接到连接器的钩的方法，该连接器的钩连接到绳的另一端的环上，以形成环形传动带，以连接一对旋转驱动构件，该旋转驱动构件利用 小说工具。 工具具有保持器段和接触段，该接触段包括一对弯曲的接触臂，其位于手指侧面并形成开口和手柄。 工具接触段通过手指放置在滚筒驱动槽中的一个辊上，手柄放置在相邻的滚轮上。 连接器和连接的线端环放置在手指上的保持器口袋中。 然后将电缆自由端夹在两个辊子上，将两个辊子夹紧到辊子上，并将其拉到挂钩上以形成环形带。 手柄被抓住以抬起工具，将其绕转辊旋转以松开工具，并滑动工具以将其从传动带脱离。 刀具的替代形式消除了弯曲部分之一，或者消除了两个弯曲的部分，或者用一个槽代替了手指。 另一种工具的优选形式是具有限定手指的一对横向狭槽，其能够与C形和S形连接器一起使用。
