Magnetic head adjustment system.

摘要

An apparatus for positioning a magnetic tape head transversely relative to a length of magnetic tape in a magnetic tape recorder along a shaft. The shaft vertical axis may be slightly tilted to compensate for manufacturing tolerances and achieve the necessary alignment of the magnetic tape head to the magnetic tape path. To accomplish this, one end of the shaft is supported in a washer bracket for connecting that end of the shaft to the tape drive frame. The washer bracket is pre-loaded axially of the shaft, such that a directing force applied to that end of the shaft permits the washer bracket to slide in a direction transverse to the axial direction of the shaft on the frame. Otherwise, the washer bracket frictionally abuts the frame and holds that end of the shaft in fixed position on the frame. <IMAGE>
