7. Magnetic Tape
The magnetic tape consists of 3 components (see picture 1)
•
a magnetized flexible rubber tape (Pos. 3), which is connected factory made with a
•
steel band (Pos. 5) and a
•
covering band (Pos. 1) , which is intended for the protection of the rubber tape.
•
For mechanical protection of the magnetic tape the covering band must be stuck on. Addi-
tionally it protects the magnetic tape from extreme external magnetic influences.
To reach a complete adhesion between the several materials a special sticky tape is used
(Pos. 2, Pos. 4, Pos. 6).
Pos. 1 – Covering band
Pos. 2 – Sticky tape
Pos. 3 – Magnetic rubber tape
Pos. 4 - Sticky tape
Pos. 5 – Steel band
Pos. 6 - Sticky tape

Handling
To avoid tension in the magnetic tape, don’t tuck or twist it. Avoid also to store or to handle it
with the magnetic rubber tape to the inside (min. bend radius 150 mm).
