Abstract

The friction coefficient is an important parameter in designing magnetic tape transports. We have introduced a novel approach to reduce the friction coefficient between guides and magnetic tape by laser surface texturing the cylindrical guides. The surface features enhance the formation of an air bearing and hence reduce the friction coefficient.
