An object of the present disclosure is to provide a magnetic recording medium capable of reducing a change in width by adjustment of the tension in the longitudinal direction.
In order to solve the problem described above, the present disclosure provides a magnetic recording medium, where the average thickness tT meets the requirement that tT≤5.5 [μm], and the dimensional change amount Δw in the width direction with respect to the tension change in the longitudinal direction meets the requirement that 700 [ppm/N]≤Δw.
According to the present disclosure, the change in the width can be reduced by adjustment of the tension in the longitudinal direction. Note that the advantageous effect described herein is not to be considered necessarily limited, and any of the advantageous effects described in the present disclosure, or different advantageous effects may be achieved.
