Tape stopping mechanism

摘要

In a high-speed tape winding operation of a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus, stable tape-stopping operation without generating any damages of the tape. In addition to the mechanical braking means, a reverse braking force is applied to a drive motor (4) for rotating reels (2,3) depending on the tape conditions so as to diminish the rotation inertia of the drive motor and dispense with a strict operation timing and precision of the mechanical braking means (5,6).
