MAGNETIC TAPE HAVING CHARACTERIZED MAGNETIC LAYER SURFACE, MAGNETIC TAPE CARTRIDGE, AND MAGNETIC TAPE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18524342 titled 'MAGNETIC TAPE HAVING CHARACTERIZED MAGNETIC LAYER SURFACE, MAGNETIC TAPE CARTRIDGE, AND MAGNETIC TAPE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a magnetic tape with a vertical switching field distribution (SFD) of 1.5 or less, exhibiting a frictional force (F) on the surface of the magnetic layer with respect to an LTO8 head measured at a head tilt angle of 45° ranging from 4 gf to 15 gf, with a standard deviation of the frictional force at different head tilt angles (0°, 15°, 30°, and 45°) being 10 gf or less.
- Vertical switching field distribution (SFD) of magnetic tape is 1.5 or less
- Frictional force on the surface of the magnetic layer with respect to an LTO8 head is between 4 gf to 15 gf at a head tilt angle of 45°
