SUPPORTING A HELICANSCAN ROTARY HEAD

摘要

A helical scan tape recorder having a head support accommodating one or more magnetic heads mounted on a drive spindle. The head support is centered relative to the axis of rotation of the drive spindle by a diaphragm made of a thin elastic sheet material clamped to the head support. A central opening of the diaphragm is pressed over the drive spindle without play, portions of the centering diaphragm being subjected to a limited elastic bending deformation.
