Abstract:
Provided are a tape head module, tape drive, and method for moving a tape medium over a tape head having a recessed portion to provide air bearing between a tape medium and a tape bearing surface of the module. The tape head includes a tape bearing surface, an array of transducers, including read and/or write transducers, on the tape bearing surface, and a recessed portion formed on the tape bearing surface, wherein the array of transducers is located on the tape bearing surface between the recessed portion and an end of the module to perform read and/or write operations with respect to the tape medium.

Claim (Index 23):
A tape drive for performing read and/or write operations with respect to a tape medium, comprising:\n a motor; guides for moving the tape medium driven by the motor; a tape head, wherein the guides guide the tape medium across the tape head, comprising: at least one module comprising: a tape bearing surface; an array of transducers, including read and/or write transducers, on the tape bearing surface; a first recessed portion and a second recessed portion formed on the tape bearing surface, wherein the array of transducers is located on the tape bearing surface between the first and second recessed portions to perform read and/or write operations with respect to the tape medium; a first side adjacent to the first recessed portion; and a second side adjacent to the second recessed portion; wherein the first recessed portion includes a first end adjacent to the first side and a second end adjacent to the array of read and/or write transducers, wherein there is a first region of tape bearing surface between the first side of the module and the first end, and wherein the second recessed portion includes a first end adjacent to the second side and a second end adjacent to the array of read and/or write transducers, wherein there is a second region of tape bearing surface between the second side of the module and the first end of the second recessed portion.
