Title:
DEVICE FOR ESTIMATING WEAR FACTOR OF MAGNETIC HEAD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3261934
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for estimating wear factor of magnetic head which can easily evaluate the wearing characteristics of a magnetic head and a magnetic tape in a short time without measuring the actual abrasion loss of the magnetic head.
SOLUTION: A device for estimating wear factor of magnetic head is provided with a rotary cylinder 5 equipped with a magnetic head 2, a tape 3 which runs while the tape 3 is wound around the cylinder 5, a piezoelectric element 1 provided near the head 2 or mounted on the cylinder 5, a signal transmitting means which fetches the signal of the element 1, and an effective value meter 13 which finds the effective value of the output voltage of the element 1. The wear factor of the head 2 can be found from a calibration curve plotted from the effective value of the pre-found output voltage of the element 1 and the wear factor of the head 2 found from the hardness of the head 2, a vertical force applied to the head 2, the abrasion volume of the head 2, and the sliding distance of the head 2 on the tape 3.
