On a magnetic tape, a plurality of servo patterns are recorded along a longitudinal direction. The servo pattern is at least one linear magnetized area pair. The linear magnetized area pair comprises a first linear magnetized area that is linearly magnetized and a second linear magnetized area that is linearly magnetized. The first linear magnetized area and the second linear magnetized area are inclined in mutually opposite directions with respect to a first virtual straight line along a width direction of the magnetic tape. The angle of inclination of the first linear magnetized area relative to the first virtual straight line is steeper than the angle of inclination of the second linear magnetized area.

To provide a servo writer that reduces the number of cartridges to be discarded.SOLUTION: A servo writer 210 for a cartridge 10 includes: a traveling portion that feeds out a tape-shaped magnetic recording medium (magnetic tape MT) from the cartridge and winds the feed magnetic recording medium to make the magnetic recording medium travel; a demagnetizing magnet 214 that erases a first servo pattern formed on the traveling magnetic recording medium; a servo signal writing head 215 that writes a servo signal onto the traveling magnetic recording medium after the first servo pattern is erased and forms a second servo pattern; and a control device that controls the head to write the servo signal during at least one of acceleration and deceleration traveling periods of the magnetic recording medium and forms the second servo pattern that does not satisfy the standard on the magnetic recording medium.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8
