A symmetrical mounting arrangement for a detachable head drum of a helical scan tape recorder in which a deformable sleeve extends from the drum along the drive spindle with a small clearance, and a clamping ring surrounding the sleeve exerts pressure uniformly to clamp the spindle and accurately center the drum on the spindle.

Mounting for a head drum of a helical scan recorder

The head-drum rotary system of a helical scan video recorder is centered on the drive spindle without tilting, by elastic deformation of two wall portions which serve as centering devices. At least one of the centering devices may also function as a clamping element for holding the head-drum system on the spindle.
