A bearing system in a motor for a floppy disk drive (FDD) apparatus includes a protective cap mounted to one side of the motor, a first pivot bearing arranged movable to and from the protective cap in an axial direction of a rotary shaft, a thrust spring provided for urging the first pivot bearing in the axial direction of the rotary shaft, the rotary shaft having a rotor fixedly mounted thereto and rotatably supported at one end by the first pivot bearing and at the other end by a second pivot bearing mounted to a base for installation of the motor, and an alignment bushing arranged through which the rotary shaft of the motor extends without direct contact and closely fitted into a positioning hole provided in a plate to which the motor is secured. The rotary shaft remains not in direct contact with (spaced apart from) the alignment bushing and, acting as a leadscrew, can thus rotate at a higher accuracy, eliminating intrinsic drawbacks of the FDD motor. In rotation, a thrust is exerted across the first pivot bearing in the motor to the rotary shaft and such wearing properties as between the thrust spring and the ball in the conventional system needs not to be accounted for. Also, the thrust will be lessened by a combination of the base portion of the first pivot bearing and the protective cap which both are made of low-cost synthetic resin.

A driving unit includes a stator, a housing including a tubular section to accommodate the stator, a cover coupled to the housing to block an upper opening of the tubular section, and a bent wire rod defined by a wire to press the stator against the tubular section, the bent wire rod being arranged between a top surface of the stator and a rear surface of the cover while being compressingly deformed along an axis of the stator. The bent wire rod has substantially annular shape with an opened portion when seen along the axis, and includes projections projecting upward along the axis and depressions projecting downward along the axis being arranged alternately and successively. An elastic force from the bent wire rod causes the stator to receive a downward force along the axis. The stator is pressed against the tubular section to hold the stator in the housing.

A driving unit includes a stator, a housing, and a spring pin. The housing includes a tubular section and a plate section. The tubular section accommodates the stator and includes a first groove on an inner wall thereof. The plate section has a flat plate shape orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to a central axis of the tubular section, and projects from an outer surface of the tubular section. The first groove is disposed in a peripheral direction of the tubular section within an area facing a joining portion across the central axis, wherein the joining portion is a portion connecting the tubular section to the plate section.

A stepping motor comprises a rotor assembly and a stator assembly. The stator assembly includes first and second stator units arranged horizontally on a same plane. Each stator unit is composed of: upper and lower stator yokes, which are shaped substantially semi-annular, arranged squarely opposite to each other in parallel, each have a plurality of pole teeth formed along its inner circumference so as to surround the rotor assembly, and which are coupled to each other with their respective pole teeth opposing each other so as to intermesh; a coil for exciting, wound rectangularly, and having its axis located outside the rotor assembly so as to be sandwiched between the upper and lower stator yokes; and a spacer shaped substantially in rectangular parallelepiped, oriented parallel to the axial direction of the rotor assembly, and inserted through the coil.

A low-profile stepping motor has a stator assembly structured such that first and second coil units are disposed flush with each other horizontally and are sandwiched between upper and lower stator yoke pieces each comprising first and second stator yokes which are punched out integrally with each other, are shaped symmetrically, and which each have a plurality of pole teeth along its semi-circular inner circumference. The upper and lower stator yoke pieces are fixedly put together by means of two studs lodged fittingly inside respective bobbins of the first and second coil units such that the studs have their both ends tightly engaging with holes formed in the upper and lower stator yoke pieces, whereby the coil units are surely held between the upper and lower stator yoke pieces.

A bearing installation for a Floppy Disk Driver motor which is simple in structure and high in accuracy of a rotating action of a rotary shaft, thus hardly impairing the read and write characteristics of a Floppy Disk Driver device. A bearing installation for a Floppy Disk Driver motor includes a protective cap mounted to one side of the motor; a first pivot bearing arranged for free and axial movements on a rotary shaft of the motor relative to the protective cap; a thrust spring urging axially the first pivot bearing on the rotary shaft of the motor; the rotary shaft fixedly mounted on a rotor of the motor, and supported pivotally at one end by the first pivot bearing and at the other end by a second pivot bearing fixedly mounted on a platform on which the motor is installed; a lead screw joined to an outwardly extending portion of the rotary shaft from the motor; and a positioning bushing arranged through which the rotary shaft fixed to the motor extends without direct contact with and closely fitted into a positioning hole provided in a plate to which the motor is secured.

A stepping motor is provided and includes: a rotor; a stator comprising a stator yoke having pole teeth; and a molded case comprising a case body and a mounting flange. The case body is resin-molded such that outer faces of the pole teeth of the stator yoke are exposed, and the mounting flange is resin-molded integrally with the case body.

In a motor, a shaft passes through a magnet of a rotor and is fixed to the magnet by way of a rotor sleeve formed by resin-molding between the magnet and the shaft. A resin-molded boss is fixed to a front end of a stator, has a center hole, and defines an inner surface continuous from the center hole and beveled so as to obliquely face a front end of the rotor sleeve. A plurality of bearing balls are rotatably disposed between the front end of the rotor sleeve and the beveled inner surface of the boss, thereby constituting a ball bearing which rotatably supports the shaft. Thus, the shaft is prevented from bowing, whereby the motor achieves a high rotational accuracy of the shaft without an additional bearing attached separately.

A low-profile stepping motor comprises: an upper twin-stator yoke plate composed of first and second upper stator yokes; a lower twin-stator yoke plate composed of first and second lower stator yokes; first and second coil units fixedly sandwiched between the upper and lower stator yoke plates so as to be arranged horizontally flush with each other; and a rotor assembly including a cylindrical magnet and disposed between the first and second coil units. In the stepping motor, one of the upper and lower twin-stator yoke plates is structured such that one half of its pole teeth partitioned in half by a predetermined datum line and open spaces each residing between two adjacent pole teeth of the other half are positioned symmetrically about the predetermined datum line, whereby the one twin-stator yoke plate can be used in common to the other twin-stator yoke plate.
