  • Patent number: 6043953
    Abstract: A tape drive having a novel capstan motor assembly for advancing and rewinding a data tape. The capstan motor assembly according to the present invention includes a motor, a gear assembly and an idler. The gear assembly has a driver gear and a driven gear for transmitting motor torque from the motor to the idler. A portion of the idler is in contact with a capstan belt wheel within the cartridge. The idler rotates the capstan belt wheel, which in turn moves the data tape past the recording area. The gear train allows the motor force to be transmitted to the capstan belt wheel without slippage between the drive roller and the idler normally occurring in conventional capstan motor assemblies.
