<p>A head arm mounting device for at least one scanning head in recording and/or playback apparatus for recording media, especially flexible recording media, comprises mounting and pivoting means, and a head arm, bearing the scanning head and, cooperating with a head arm loading spring, being so mounted that it can pivot and yield, in a compliant manner, relative to the recording medium or relative to a further scanning head. The mounting and pivoting means comprises a pivot shaft which is held in a mount having arms, with the aid of spring means which connects the arms of the mount to each other and which bias the arms in the axial direction of the pivot shaft. The mounting device and the loading spring has such a spring-characteristic curve that the loading force applied to the scanning head is essentially independent of the deflection of the head relative to the recording medium or relative to the said further scanning head.</p> |
