Patent ID: 6956713

Claim:
A magnetic tape apparatus comprising: a rotation cylinder around which a magnetic tape is wound, the rotation cylinder containing a magnetic head; a cylinder motor for driving the rotation cylinder, the cylinder motor having a stator core; a capstan for applying a feeding force to the magnetic tape; and a capstan motor for driving the capstan, the capstan motor having a capstan stator core, a cylindrical bearing holder to which the capstan stator core is attached and a rotor attached to the bearing holder through a bearing, wherein the bearing holder has a concentric flange-shaped attachment portion and recess portions arranged at predetermined intervals in a circumferential direction on a rear surface of the flange-shaped attachment portion, each of the recess portions is directed toward a center of the stator core such that a width thereof becomes smaller toward the center, the capstan stator core has a plurality of plate-shaped attachment pieces each of which extends inward toward the center such that a width thereof becomes smaller toward the center, the attachment pieces are respectively fitted into the recess portions and sandwiched by both side wall surfaces defining the corresponding recess portion so that the capstan stator core is positionally restricted in a circumferential direction thereof with respect to the bearing holder, the flange-shaped attachment portion and the attachment pieces are coupled by screws which are respectively inserted into screw insertion holes provided at the flange-shaped attachment portion and screwed into screw holes provided at inner end portions of the attachment pieces, the stator core of the cylinder motor has a circular opening at a center thereof, a diameter size of a phantom circle formed by inner ends of the plurality of attachment pieces is larger than an outer peripheral diameter size of the bearing holder and same as a diameter size of the circular opening, the flange-shaped attachment portion has ribs extended between the both side wall surfaces and positioned at an outer periphery of the bearing holder and engage with the inner ends of the attachment pieces fitted into the recess portions thereby to positionally restrict the capstan stator core in a radial direction thereof with respect to the bearing holder, and an intermediate portion of each rib is cut out.
