Abstract (en)

An erase head (10) for erasing single tracks on multi-track magnetic recording tapes (12) by means of a constant magnetic field applied in a direction perpendicular to the direction of tape travel, to avoid any asymmetrical residual magnetization with respect to the direction of a magnetizing field used for recording. A configuration of two pole pieces (14) and two corresponding shields (16), spaced out from the pole pieces and generally coplanar with the end faces thereof, ensures that the magnetic field strength is relatively uniform in a region between the shields and falls to a relatively low value outside this region.
