Abstract:
A head rotator assembly for positioning a head of a tape drive relative to a storage tape that moves over the head comprises a head supporter and a supporter mover assembly. The head supporter is coupled to and supports the head. The supporter mover assembly includes a first actuator that indirectly rotates a portion of the head supporter about an axis to move the head in an azimuth direction relative to the storage tape as the storage tape moves over the head. The supporter mover assembly can further include a first lever. The first actuator moves the first lever to rotate the portion of the head supporter so that the head moves in the azimuth direction relative to the storage tape.
