A spindle motor includes a shaft arranged concentric with as a central axis and extending in a vertical direction, a rotor unit arranged to rotate about the central axis, a stator including a base member and a magnetic member fixed to the base member and axially opposed to the magnet. The magnetic member includes an opposing portion axially opposed to the magnet so that a magnetic attracting force is generated between the opposing portion and the magnet and a protrusion portion protruding downwards from the opposing portion. The base member includes a recess portion, and the protrusion portion of the magnetic member is fixed within the recess portion.

A rotor hub includes a shaft connecting portion arranged to be connected to a shaft serving as a central axis, a disk loading portion centered about the central axis and arranged to support a disk shaped storage medium mounted thereon, a yoke arranged below the disk loading portion and supporting a field magnet at one of an inner side surface thereof and an outer side surface thereof, and a flexible portion connecting the disk loading portion to the yoke and being flexible with respect to a force applied thereto from the yoke.

In a motor, a stationary portion includes a shaft portion and an upper thrust portion arranged to define a single continuous monolithic member together with the shaft portion, and arranged to extend radially outward from an upper portion of the shaft portion. The shaft portion includes a female screw portion recessed axially downward from an upper end thereof. An upper end of the single continuous monolithic member defined by the shaft portion and the upper thrust portion includes an upper end annular surface arranged to extend radially outward from the female screw portion perpendicularly or substantially perpendicularly to the central axis. An outside diameter of the upper end annular surface is greater than a diameter of an outer circumferential surface of the shaft portion.

A spindle motor includes a shaft arranged in an upward/downward direction along a central axis; a base member including a substantially cylindrical holder portion arranged around the central axis; a bearing unit arranged radially inward of the holder portion; and a rotating portion arranged above the base member to rotate about the central axis. The rotating portion preferably includes a mounting surface on which a disk is to be mounted. An adhesive containing an electrically conductive material and an adhesive containing an externally stimulated curing material and/or an anaerobic curing material are arranged in a clearance space defined between an inner circumferential surface of the holder portion and an outer circumferential surface of the bearing unit. The adhesive containing the electrically conductive material is arranged above the adhesive containing the externally stimulated curing material and/or the anaerobic curing material.

A shaft, a circular plate portion and a cylindrical portion are integrally formed with one another through cutting operations to provide a rotor hub of a motor. An inner region on the lower surface of the circular plate portion is formed continuously with the outer peripheral surface of the shaft, and a hub thrust portion is provided in the inner portion so as to axially face a sleeve thrust portion on a sleeve main body. A stepped portion on the lower surface of the circular plate portion is disposed on the outer side of thrust dynamic pressure grooves on the sleeve thrust portion. In this manner, the stepped portion is disposed in a region where a thrust bearing portion is not provided, so that the hub thrust portion can be formed at a low cost in manufacturing the rotor hub by cutting.

In spindle motors journaled on fluid-dynamic-pressure bearings, especially in such spindle motors employed in recording-disk drives in implementations that subject the drives to vibration and shock, sealing performance of a capillary seal formed between motor rotor-side and stator-side bearing surfaces, cohesiveness of oil-repellant on rotor-side/stator-side dry-area surfaces adjoining the capillary seal section, and motor inter-component adhesive strength are improved. The capillary-seal-constituting rotor-side/stator-side surface(s) are exposed to a plasma or to ultraviolet rays under predetermined conditions to improve the wettability of the surface(s) for the bearing fluid. The dry-area surface(s) are similarly irradiated so as to improve their wettability for the oil-repellant. Adhesively bonded component surfaces are likewise irradiated so as to improve their wettability for the adhesive, enhancing adhesive strength. Exposed surfaces may be constituted of a synthetic resin to enhance their wettability further, or may be made of metal, to yield a cleaning efficacy from the plasma/UV exposure.

An armature core of an electric motor includes a core plate having a plurality of tooth portions arranged circumferentially about a center axis and extending in a radial direction, and a supporting ring portion supporting the plurality of the tooth portions along outer circumferential surfaces thereof. Each tooth portion includes a wire-wound portion on which a coil is arranged, a tip portion at a radially innermost portion of each tooth portion, and an inclined connecting portion connecting the tip portion and the wire-wound portion. The connecting portion has a width in a circumferential direction greater than a width of the wire-wound portion but smaller than a width of the tip portion.

A fluid dynamic bearing device is mainly composed of a housing, a bearing sleeve, and a rotary member. The housing is formed by a side portion formed through injection molding of a resin material, and a bottom member fixed to a fixing portion provided in the inner periphery at one axial end of the side portion and adapted to close an opening at one axial end of the side portion. The fixing portion is a molding surface formed through solidification, in conformity with the inner surface of the mold, of the resin injected by the injection molding.

The wire winding height of the first teeth over which the head portion moves is lower than the wire winding height of the second teeth over which is out of the moving range of the head portion. The first wire winding portion is formed so as to be radially longer than the second wire winding portion. With the configuration mentioned above, the number of winding of the wire around the first teeth (243a) is maintained without reducing the torque and varying the uniformity of the magnetic force in the circumferential direction which the stator generates.

Vertical grooves extending in the axial direction are formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction in the inner peripheral surface of a housing. By fixing the outer peripheral surface of a sleeve formed by a sintered metal having a cylindrical-shaped outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the housing, a communication hole is formed. The communication hole is formed longer than the length from the top face to the under face of the sleeve.
