Abstract
A low profile mechanism for biased driving of driven roller in tape cartridge includes a rotor-on-the-outside motor placed on a reciprocating base plate and moved by the base plate to engage a drive roller with a predefined control force. The drive roller is translatable such that it conveys all or part of the control force to the driven roller of a supplied tape cartridge.
