Abstract
An apparatus according to one embodiment includes a reel having a hub, and a damping layer coupled to the reel for translating motion of a motor to the reel. The damping layer is physically configured to dampen motor-induced motion of the reel along an axis of rotation of the reel. An apparatus according to another embodiment includes a reel having a hub, and a damping layer coupled to the reel for translating motion of a motor to the reel. The damping layer includes a laminate having a first metal layer and a viscoelastic layer extending along the first metal layer for dampening motor-induced motion of the reel along an axis of rotation of the reel.
