<p>The tape having a surface with a low coefficient of friction consists of a conformable substrate (101) manufactured of polycarbonate or mylar. Rods (102) of alumina oxide, having cylindrical cross section, are adhesively (103) bonded to the substrate. These rods are parallel to each other, spaced apart at regular intervals and oriented lengthwise across the narrow dimension of the tape. The cylinders of alumina oxide are tapered at both ends so that there is a smooth transition at either edge of the tape. The cylinders of alumina oxide having a very low coefficient of friction and an extremely long lifetime, to thereby provide a surface with a low coefficient of friction for the tape transport path of a magnetic tape drive.</p> |
