ABSTRACT:
A tape cartridge with minimal tape tension variation and a method of making the same. The tape cartridge includes a supply-side tape reel around which a tape is wound and a winding-side tape reel both rotatably mounted to a base. At least one pin having a first end is attached to the base. At least one roller having a through-hole is rotatably engaged with the pin. Grease is interposed between the at least one pin and the through-hole. A second end of the pin includes a recess opening in an axial direction of the pin. The recess has a volume greater than a volume of excess grease accumulated on an end portion of the pin during mounting the roller on the pin. The roller may be an idler or drive roller for a belt-driven tape cartridge or a tape reel.
