Abstract

A servo pattern recording head includes: a plurality of head cores that are magnetically separated from each other; and a plurality of gap patterns that are formed on a front surface of each of the plurality of head cores and that are used for recording a plurality of servo patterns in a width direction of a magnetic tape by applying a magnetic field to the magnetic tape in response to a pulse current, in which the plurality of gap patterns are formed on the front surface along a direction corresponding to the width direction, and the plurality of gap patterns deviate from each other at a predetermined interval in a direction corresponding to a longitudinal direction of the magnetic tape between the gap patterns adjacent to each other along the direction corresponding to the width direction.
