ABSTRACT:
A belt-driven tape cartridge that includes at least one vibration damping pin. The cartridge comprises a base plate, two spools and various tape path members, such as roller guides, tension pins, and the like. The vibration damping pin is mounted on the base plate along an otherwise uninterrupted tape run between two tape path members. A characteristic of the damping pin that distinguishes it from other tape path members is that it does not alter the direction of the tape path significantly (if at all), i.e., any wrap angle is minimal; its sole function is to stabilize the tape. Furthermore, the wrap angle remains constant during operation. In embodiments including more than one damping pin, the pins may be distributed on both sides of the tape or all on the same.
