摘要： To reduce the whirling air vortices which are normally formed at the disc tip, the outer edge of the disc surface may be gradually thinned down to a sharp tip. An alternative approach, the disc tip is gradually reduced in width and rounded at its outer edge. A flow obstruction may be incorporated in the shroud adjacent the edge of the disc tip. This obstruction may comprise a small substantially rectangular insert extending from the inner edge of the housing. Or, the inner surface of the portion of the housing adjacent the ends of the disc may incorporate grooves therein. These grooves, which are roughly herringbone in shape, and would have their center near either the edge of disc in a single disc environment or mid-way between the disc in a two disc environment.

摘要： Two thrust bearing surfaces are separated by bearing fluid and are rotatable relative to one another. One of the bearing surfaces defines a plurality of continuous lands extending from an inner to an outer radius of the bearing surface. Adjacent lands define between them a continuous groove which has an undivided portion in an inner annulus and a divided portion in an outer annulus of the bearing surface. The continuous groove is divided in the divided portion by an intermediate land located between the adjacent continuous lands. The divided portion of the continuous groove communicates in unbroken fashion with the divided portion.

摘要： A bimetallic part is formed from metals or comprises metals with different thermal expansion coefficients. A first element defines the part and defines one surface of the bearing gap and has a first coefficient of expansion and a second element is wholly or partially inserted into and constrained within the first element and having a different coefficient of thermal expansion so that as the temperature changes, the stress created by the differential expansion of the two elements will cause the overall part to deform elastically as a function of temperature. This deformation will cause the gap, the elements being properly selected, to narrow as temperature rises (and viscosity falls) and to widen as temperature falls (and viscosity rises).

摘要： A disc drive includes a disc drive motor and a chassis for providing a substantially contaminant-free cavity. The disc drive motor includes a fixed member coupled to the chassis and a rotor rotatable about the fixed member for rotating a magnetic storage disc in the contaminant-free cavity. A bearing interconnects the fixed member and the rotor. A viscous pump seal is located between the contaminant-free cavity and the bearing. The viscous pump seal includes a first pump surface carried by one of the fixed member and the rotor and a second, grooved pump surface carried by the other of the fixed member and the rotor. The first and second pump surfaces are separated by a gap. The viscous pump seal inhibits transfer of contaminants from the bearing to the contaminant-free cavity.
