Abstract
The present disclosure relates to apparatus and methods for recording heads with tape guides, including embedded tape guides. In one embodiment a magnetic recording head includes a contour modified to include a tape guide. The tape guide may include compliant or non-compliant edge guides. In another embodiment, a magnetic recording head includes a contour configured to impart a lateral force on the surface of tape streaming over the head. The head may include air-bleed slots, air skiving edges, non-symmetrical head surfaces, specific contour topographies, negative pressure elements, or any combination thereof. The streaming tape may be held referenced against the a tape guide by the lateral force. In a further embodiment, the present disclosure relates to magnetic tape wherein the written-in lateral tape motion is substantially eliminated.
