    The pinchroller is a small rubber wheel attached to the capstan that is pushed towards it by a tension spring during playback and recording to pull the tape between them at a uniform speed. During rewind, fast forward, or pause, the pinchroller is kept away from the capstan. Too much or too little pressure from the pinchroller can cause the tape to slip and degrade sound quality, so a tension spring is used to apply the proper pressure.

    4.Pinchroller It is a rubber mounted small wheel, which is forced by a tension spring towards capstan.

    It is attached with capstanwhen playback or record mode used. In high speed rewind or fast - forward and pause modes it is kept away from capstan. The tape lye between the capstan and pinch roller. When capstan moves the pinch roller also moves, due tomechanical contact. The direction of rotation oppose cause to pull tape at uniform speed. If pressure of pinch roller ismore or less, then !ape start slipping, hence sound quality will be degraded. To correct it a tension spring is used.
