  • Patent number: 11735213
    Abstract: A magnetic tape device. The angle ? formed by the axis of the element array of the magnetic head with respect to a width direction of the magnetic tape is changed during running of the magnetic tape in the magnetic tape device. The magnetic tape satisfies Equation 1: TDSage+TDSenv?TC?0.10 ?m. In Equation 1, the TDSage is a maximum value of an absolute value of a difference between a servo band spacing obtained before storage for 24 hours in a predetermined environment and a servo band spacing obtained after the storage. TDSenv is a value calculated by multiplying a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of servo band spacings obtained in each of five predetermined environments by ½, and TC is a value calculated by TC=L{cos (?initial???)?cos (?initial+??)}.
