A head driving device includes a base member, a head supporting member, a beam member, a piezoelectric unit, and a reinforcement member. The reinforcement member includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is arranged between a first end portion in a length direction of a head member and the base member. The second member is arranged between a second end portion in a length direction of the head member and the base member. The reinforcement member allows the head supporting member to move in a direction along a surface of tape and controls the head supporting member from moving in a thickness direction of the head member.

Head driving device configured to move a head member relative to tape as a recording medium and configured to stably hold the head member

A head driving device includes a head supporting portion supporting a head member, a first beam, a second beam, a first piezoelectric unit including a pair of piezoelectric elements, and a second piezoelectric unit including a pair of piezoelectric elements. When voltage is applied to the piezoelectric elements of the first piezoelectric unit, the piezoelectric elements deform, and a distal end of the first beam moves. The piezoelectric elements of the second piezoelectric unit also deform by application of voltage, and moves a distal end of the second beam in a same direction as the distal end of the first beam.
