Abstract:
A magnetic recording/reproducing system, comprising:a magnetic head responsible for recording/reproduction of signal to and from a running magnetic tape; and a pair of guide means provided in a depth-wise direction and on both sides of said magnetic head, wherein, said magnetic head has a flat slide-contact plane which comes into contact with the magnetic tape, and performs recording/reproduction of signal while pressurizing the magnetic tape as it runs while being guided by said guide means, said magnetic head has bevel planes at both ends of said slide-contact plane along a running direction of the magnetic tape, said bevel planes are flat, an angle of inclination &thgr;2 resides within a range exceeding 70% and less than 300% of an angle of projection &thgr;1, said angle of projection &thgr;1 is defined as an acute angle out of angles formed between said slide-contact plane and the magnetic tape extending towards said guide means, and said angle of inclination &thgr;2 is defined as an acute angle out of angles formed between said slide-contact plane and said bevel plane.
