Abstract
In an approach to improve write transducers a write transducer for recording data on a magnetic media is disclosed. The write transducer comprises a first pole piece. The write transducer further comprises a second pole piece. The first pole piece and the second pole piece are arranged in such a way, that a write gap is formed between the first pole piece and the second pole piece. A longitudinal axis is defined between opposite ends of the write gap. A length of the write gap along the longitudinal axis varies in the direction transverse to the longitudinal axis.

A magnetic write transducer for recording data on a magnetic media, the magnetic write transducer comprising:
- a first pole piece;
- and
- a second pole piece, and wherein the first pole piece and the second pole piece are arranged in such a way that a write gap is formed between the first pole piece and the second pole piece, and wherein a longitudinal axis is defined between opposite ends of the write gap, and wherein a length of the write gap along the longitudinal axis varies in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis, and wherein the length of the write gap continuously and uniformly decreases over a full span respectively width of the magnetic write transducer towards a shingling edge of the write transducer, so that the written track retained after shingling is written by the side of the writer with the narrowest write gap length.
A longitudinal magnetic recording system for recording data on a magnetic tape, the longitudinal magnetic recording system comprising:
- a magnetic media;
- and
- at least one magnetic write transducer for recording data on the magnetic media, wherein the at least one magnetic write transducer comprises:
- a first pole piece;
- and
- a second pole piece, and wherein the first pole piece and the second pole piece are arranged in such a way that a write gap is formed between the first pole piece and the second pole piece, and wherein a longitudinal axis is defined between opposite ends of the write gap, and wherein a length of the write gap along the longitudinal axis varies in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis, and wherein the length of the write gap continuously and uniformly decreases over a full span respectively width of the magnetic write transducer towards a shingling edge of the write transducer, so that the written track retained after shingling is written by the side of the writer with the narrowest write gap length.
