Abstract: A normal tape reel is disclosed, comprising a tape reel portion and a magnetic tape wound on the reel core of the tape reel portion, wherein the ratio of the winding radius R of the magnetic tape to the radius r of the reel core (R/r) is not smaller than 3.5 and the winding hardness of the magnetic tape is adjusted to a range of from 1.9 to 11.5 N.

Abstract: A magnetic recording medium includes: a non-magnetic support; a lower non-magnetic layer; and a magnetic layer containing a ferromagnetic powder and a binder, in this order, wherein the magnetic layer has a coercive force of 2,500 to 3,500 oersted (197.5 to 276.5 kA/m), and a squareness ratio of 0.70 to 0.85 in a length direction thereof, and the binder in the magnetic layer is a urethane resin having a glass transition temperature Tg of 70° C. or higher.

Abstract: Provided is a particulate magnetic recording medium with good output at high frequency, yielding a low coefficient of friction, and having good running properties, in particular, a magnetic recording medium affording good electromagnetic characteristics and good repeat durability in recording and reproducing at a high-density. The magnetic recording medium comprises a lower layer comprising a nonmagnetic powder and a binder and an upper magnetic layer comprising a ferromagnetic powder, a binder and at least one abrasives provided on a nonmagnetic support in this order. The number of abrasive particles present on said magnetic layer surface satisfied the relation 0.2≦X≦1.2 (particles/&mgr;m2).
