摘要：
The need for increased storage capacity in today's data storage technology has created a continuing need to study the tribological performance of magnetic tape. Lateral tape motion (LTM) is one important area of ongoing tribological research. The objective of the study presented in this article is to determine the effects different magnetic tapes and operating parameters have on LTM. Specifically, the research focuses on LTM in five different tape samples and the effects the varying operating parameters have on LTM. The tapes studied include metal particulate (MP), thin MP, and three advanced metal evaporated (AME) tapes, as well as MP tapes with different edge quality and tapes from staggered packs. The operating parameters studied include tension, speed, and head and bearing setup. Experimental methods used to collect and analyze the LTM data are discussed and the findings are presented.
