Abstract
A pinch roller apparatus fully satisfying tape running stability and bearing durability is disclosed. A roller shaft is arranged inclined such that its tip end is closer to a capstan. A plain bearing is formed of resin having a Young's modulus of 10 kgf/mm.sup.2 to 1500 kgf/mm.sup.2. Self alignment of the pinch roller is realized by elastic deformation of the plain bearing.
