CA 2212485

A mechanism and method for providing rotational and linear movement to an azimuth tape recording head is disclosed. The mechanism includes a toothed gear upon which the read/write head is mounted. Two identical threaded shafts, each extending from identical stepper motors are mounted on a base, along a same vertical plane as the toothed gear. Rotational axes of the threaded shafts are arranged in a parallel relation such that each is meshably engaged to the toothed gear on opposing sides. Rotational movement of the head is achieved by synchronously rotating the threaded shafts, at the same speed, in opposite directions. Linear movement, or lifting/lowering, of the head is achieved by synchronously rotating one threaded shaft in one direction and the other threaded shaft in the opposite direction.

Mécanisme et méthode conçus pour commander le mouvement rotatif et linéaire d'une tête d'enregistreur à angle. Ce mécanisme est constitué d'un engrenage sur lequel est montée la tête de lecture-écriture. Deux arbres filetés identiques, constituant tous deux un élément en saillie de moteurs pas à pas identiques, sont montés sur une base dans le même plan vertical que l'engrenage. Les axes de rotation des arbres filetés sont disposés parallèlement et de telle sorte que chacun d'entre eux se trouve mis en prise dans l'engrenage par un côté opposé. Le mouvement rotatif de la tête est réalisé par la rotation synchrone des arbres filetés qui se déplacent à la même vitesse dans des directions opposées. Le mouvement linéaire de la tête (pour la lever et l'abaisser) est réalisé par la rotation synchrone d'un arbre fileté dans une direction pendant que l'autre arbre tourne dans l'autre direction.
