ABSTRACT:
A damped inertia roller for reducing tape flutter in a magnetic tape transport comprises an outer cylindrical hollow shell which encloses a centrally bored cylindrical flywheel rotatably mounted about an axial shaft. The shaft is rigidly fixed to a closed end face of the hollow shell, and a resilient damping washer is sandwiched between an end of the flywheel and the closed end face of the shell. A second resilient damping washer is sandwiched between the other end of the flywheel and a disc shaped retaining member. The shaft is recessed within the flywheel bore, and has a threaded axial hole in its recessed end face.
A retaining screw passing through the retaining member and the second washer is threaded into this axial hole, and adjustment of its tightness provides a means of adjustably compressing the washers to control the damping of the roller.
