ABSTRACT:
A data storage tape cartridge having an insert for improved hub alignment. The data storage tape cartridge includes a housing defined by a first housing section and a second housing section, a hub pin extending from an interior surface of the first housing section, a tape reel assembly rotatably maintained by the hub pin and a storage tape wrapped about the tape reel assembly. The tape reel assembly includes a hub and an insert. The insert spaces the hub a predetermined distance from the interior surface of the first housing section, thus maintaining the hub in proper alignment. The insert is selected to compensate for inconsistencies in hub pin height, as well as other component variations.
