The present disclosure generally relates to a head positioning assembly in a tape embedded drive. The tape embedded drive has two reels as well as four guide rollers. The reels and guide rollers are arranged within the tape embedded drive so as to position the head positioning assembly as close to the center of the tape embedded drive as possible. In so doing, the reels, guide rollers, and head assembly are more stable which reduces or even eliminates shock and vibration to the tape embedded drive.

The present disclosure generally relates to a tape embedded drive having the spindles upon which the tape reels are disposed, fixedly coupled at both the bottom and the top to ensure stability of the reels. Furthermore, an additional cover over the spindle can be used to secure the top coupling mechanism and the spindle to the tape embedded drive enclosure to provide additional stability. A sealing cover is then placed over the additional cover to tightly seal the enclosure.

At least one jack screw from a tape deck base may be removed. The tape deck base may be below a rigid support base that includes a rigid support shaft in the center of the rigid support base. A piezoelectric stack may be inserted where the at least one jack screw was removed from the tape deck base. The piezoelectric stack may tilt a tape guide roller bearing in a skew direction to improve the motion of tape in a tape path.

An electrical drive system includes a motor, a load device and a coupling unit, wherein a slip is calculated by comparing signals between a motor sensor and a load sensor, and a motor sensor-based position of the load device is cyclically updated, provided that a slip remains below a slip threshold value.
