摘要:
A motor assembly in which magnetic attraction between the magnets and the base of the motor is reduced by providing increased magnetic reluctance. This is achieved without the need to increase the overall height of the motor assembly, thus making the motor assembly particularly suitable for use in applications with tight space constraints and power consumption limitations.

A formed in place damper for a data storage device. The damper is formed of an elastomeric bead which is cured to a cover or component to form a damper body having contoured shape or surface formed by an outer surface of the cured elastomeric bead. The damper is formed in place to a cover of the data storage device so that when the cover is assembled to a base, the damper is interposed between the cover or housing and a disc spindle assembly, actuator or voice coil motor. Alternatively the damper is formed to drive components, such as the disc spindle assembly, actuator or voice coil motor.

A base deck is provided and includes a base plate having a plurality of parallel surfaces and a plurality of gasket retention grooves formed. A first gasket retention groove is formed in one of the plurality of parallel surfaces that is proximate a top cover. A second gasket retention groove is formed in one of the plurality of parallel surfaces and at least partially surrounds a motor mounting aperture. A third gasket retention groove is formed in one of the plurality of parallel surfaces and at least partially surrounds a connector mounting aperture. A first cured-in-place elastomer is formed on the base plate and is confined by the first gasket retention groove. A second cured-in-place elastomer is formed on the base plate and is confined by the second gasket retention groove. A third cured-in-place elastomer is formed on the base plate and is confined by the third gasket retention groove.
摘要:
In general, the invention is directed to techniques for forming a seal between parts of an overmold component. The overmold component includes a first part forming one or more thorough-holes and a second part overmolded to the first part. A through-hole may be, for example, a screw hole or an overmold material entrance hole. The through-holes formed by the first part are surrounded by an adhesive prior to overmolding the second part. After overmolding, the adhesive locally bonds the surface of the first part to the overmold part to make a seal around the through holes. For example, the overmold component may combine with a cover to form a housing of a disc drive or other electronic device defining an internal environment. In this example, the adhesive prevents external contaminants from entering the internal environment via the through-holes.

An enclosure system includes a motor assembly that has a motor magnet and at least one motor coil. The enclosure system also includes a base coupled to the motor assembly. The base includes a first portion that includes a non-magnetic material and a second portion that includes a magnetic material. The first portion of the base is in closer proximity to the motor magnet than the second portion of the base.

A base of a data storage system includes a motor assembly. The motor assembly s includes a rotor that extends through an aperture in the base. The aperture extends from an inner surface to an outer surface of the base. The motor assembly also includes a motor stator mounted on the outer surface of the base. The motor stator includes a plurality of stator teeth radially and symmetrically arranged about the aperture in the base which are configured to support stator wires.

The present invention is a motor housing. The motor housing includes a centrally located rotor. The motor housing includes a stator having a plurality of stator teeth and a plurality of stator slots radially and symmetrically arranged about the rotor. Each stator tooth is spaced apart from each other by one of the stator slots. The motor housing also includes at least one printed circuit component deposited in at least one stator slot.
摘要:
An apparatus and associated method for making a base for a data storage device. The base has a plurality of raised pads defining coplanar supporting surfaces. The surfaces are adapted for supportingly engaging intermittent portions of a component supported by the base so that the base clearingly disengages other portions of the component between the pads.
摘要:
A pivot assembly for use with a planar disc drive actuator has bearings which are mounted within the deck of a disc drive. A pivoting shaft is supported by the bearings and extends upwardly, and includes an upper surface for supporting the actuator. A fastener is provided which secures the actuator to the upper surface of the pivot shaft.
