Advancements to the high-performance cartridge Sony has developed an innovative reel hub design that maintains an ideal gap between the tape edge and the reel flange to ensure operating stability. The improvements in coaxiality of the hub and drive rotation axes during operation will give customers peace of mind when using Sony LTO5 cartridges in any LTO5 drive. The new binder system offers more stable operation, durability and reliability. The Strong Binder System with high cross-linking and abrasion-resistant characteristics achieves a remarkable robustness of the magnetic layer, that can withstand more than tens of thousands of passes between the head and the tape. This new binder system also includes a lubrication system that helps attain a more stable operation and smooth running under various environments.
