Abstract
A head positioner arrangement for a tape drive includes a head positioner with a guidance system and a prime mover system, and a floating nut that is positioned between the prime mover system and the guidance system. The floating nut has a three-point contact to the prime mover system. The three-point contact absorbs errors from the prime mover system and prevents these errors from interfering with the guidance system.
