Abstract
Abstract A device for writing information in a disk-shaped record carrier, and/or for reproducing the recorded information, the transducer being radially movable relative to the record carrier, which transducer is disposed on a tubular member, which at its one end is provided with a drive coil and at its other end with a tachometer coil, which coils are movable in an air gap of a stationary magnet system.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
176 words
A device for recording information on a rotating disk-shaped record carrier and/or for reading the recording from the carrier with a radiation beam, comprising a tubular member, a transducer on the tubular member in the path of the radiation beam, said radiation beam being projected through said tubular member in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of said tubular member, means positioned within said tubular member for deflecting the radiation beam out of said tubular member through said transducer, a drive coil surrounding one end of said tubular member, a tacho-generator coil surrounding the other end of said tubular member and providing a tacho-generator signal in response to motion of the tubular member, a separate stationary magnetic system means magnetically coupled to each of said coils for providing a stationary magnetic field and an air gap surrounding each of said coils, a signal source for providing an energizing signal for said drive coil, and means for combining the tacho-generator signal with said energizing signal and for connecting said combined signal to said drive coil.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
176 words
A device for recording information on a rotating disk-shaped record carrier and/or for reading the recording from the carrier with a radiation beam, comprising a tubular member, a transducer on the tubular member in the path of the radiation beam, said radiation beam being projected through said tubular member in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of said tubular member, means positioned within said tubular member for deflecting the radiation beam out of said tubular member through said transducer, a drive coil surrounding one end of said tubular member, a tacho-generator coil surrounding the other end of said tubular member and providing a tacho-generator signal in response to motion of the tubular member, a separate stationary magnetic system means magnetically coupled to each of said coils for providing a stationary magnetic field and an air gap surrounding each of said coils, a signal source for providing an energizing signal for said drive coil, and means for combining the tacho-generator signal with said energizing signal and for connecting said combined signal to said drive coil.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the tubular member extends through the magnet system means and wherein the transducer is disposed at said one end.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
67 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the magnet system means consists of a hollow core and is at one end provided with a cylindrical pole shoe, which together with a pole plate disposed opposite said pole shoe defines the air gap of each of said magnetic system means, and a magnetic connection provided between said plate and the other end of the core.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
A device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the tubular member extends through the magnet system means and wherein the transducer is disposed at said one end.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
A device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the pole shoe and/or the pole plate is provided with ducts which terminate in the air gap, through which a pressurised gas or liquid may flow out.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
A device as claimed in claim 5, wherein the tubular member extends through the magnet system means and wherein the transducer is disposed at said one end.
