    摘要: Provided is a magnetic tape apparatus. During running of a magnetic tape in the magnetic tape apparatus, an angle θ formed by an axis of an element array of a magnetic head with respect to a width direction of the magnetic tape is changed. The magnetic tape satisfies Expression 1, the Equation 1: TDSage+TDSenv−TC≤0.10 μm. In Expression 1, TDSage is a maximum value of an absolute value of a difference between a servo band interval obtained before storage and a servo band interval obtained after the storage in a predetermined environment for 36 hours. TDSenv is a value calculated by multiplying a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value in the servo band intervals obtained in each of predetermined five environments by ½, and TC is a value calculated by TC=L{cos(θinitial−Δθ)−cos(θinitial+Δθ)}.

    摘要: The magnetic tape includes a non-magnetic support, and a magnetic layer containing a ferromagnetic powder. One or more components selected from the group consisting of a fatty acid and a fatty acid amide are included in a portion on the non-magnetic support on a magnetic layer side, a C—H derived C concentration calculated from a C—H peak surface area ratio of C1s spectra obtained by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy performed on a surface of the magnetic layer at a photoelectron take-off angle of 10 degrees is 50 at % or more, and standard deviation σ of the C—H derived C concentration in a width direction of the surface of the magnetic layer is 2.0 at % or less.

    摘要: The present disclosure generally relates to a tape drive having a regenerative braking system. The tape drive comprises a first reel; a first spindle coupled to the first reel; a first motor coupled to the first spindle, wherein the first motor is configured to rotate the first spindle; a second reel; a second spindle coupled to the second reel; a second motor coupled to the second spindle, wherein the second motor is configured to rotate the second spindle; and a regenerative braking circuit coupled to the first motor and the second motor, wherein during a braking of the motors, the regenerative braking circuit and the motors convert a mechanical energy of the motors to electrical energy for a power storage mechanism, thereby providing resistance to the rotation of the spindles.
