Description

Overview
The IBM 46Y0061 Tape Library HD Gripper Pivot Assembly is a precision engineered component designed to deliver reliable media handling for high density tape libraries. Built to meet the rigorous demands of enterprise backup and archival environments, this pivot assembly ensures smooth, repeatable motion of the gripper mechanism, reducing wear on tapes and minimizing the risk of read/write errors. Its robust construction and exacting tolerances make it an ideal replacement part for maintaining optimal performance in IBM TS series tape libraries.

Key Features

High strength alloy construction for long service life
Precision pivot geometry that provides consistent alignment of the gripper arm
Easy installation with standard mounting hardware included
Designed to operate in a temperature range from 0 deg C to 45 deg C
Compatible with IBM TS3500, TS4300 and TS7700 series libraries

Technical Specifications

Part Number: 46Y0061
Manufacturer: IBM
Material: Heat treated steel alloy
Pivot angle travel: +/- 45 degrees
Operating torque: up to 2.5 Nm
Dimensions (L x W x H): 120 mm x 85 mm x 30 mm

Finish: Corrosion resistant coating

Applications
This gripper pivot assembly is used in mission critical data protection solutions where tape remains the preferred medium for long term storage. Typical applications include:

Enterprise backup and disaster recovery systems
Regulatory compliance archiving for finance, healthcare and government
Cold storage of large data sets in media vaults
Hybrid cloud environments that integrate on-premise tape libraries with offsite replication

By replacing the pivot assembly with the IBM 46Y0061, organizations can restore full library functionality, extend the life of existing hardware, and maintain confidence in their data preservation strategy.
