    摘要: In one example, a FDB motor having a top-cover attached, EM biased bearing system is provided. The motor includes a shaft and rotor disposed for relative rotation, and an axial limiter for restricting axial movement of the rotor with respect to the shaft, wherein the axial limiter is wet or lubricated during contact. The limiter is spatially fixed with respect to one of the shaft or the rotor and disposed with an axial end surface opposing a surface portion spatially fixed with respect to the other of the shaft or the rotor to form a gap therebetween. The gap may be filled with a fluid such as bearing lubricant, thereby providing a lubricated or wet contact surface to restrict axial movement of the shaft and rotor. Additionally, one or both surfaces may include a groove or slot to provide circulation of fluid through the gap.

    摘要: A robust spindle motor is provided having added shock resistance for fluid containment. In an aspect, a high-speed centrifugal capillary seal contains a fluid reservoir extending between similarly rotatable components. Fluid is recirculated through the motor and substantially around a counterplate. Proper axial positioning of motor components and stiffness is maintained in motors supporting heavy loads such as a disk drive memory system having a weighty disc pack. In an aspect, two separate thrust surfaces provide oppositely directed axial forces acting on motor components. In an aspect, a single thrust plate that is comparatively small is utilized, reducing power consumption. Also, a thrust bearing situated inboard of a capillary seal forms a comparatively small diameter thrust plate gap. The comparatively small diameter thrust plate gap increases efficiency and characteristics including surface flatness, run out and perpendicularity are improved.

    摘要: A disc drive spindle motor having improved acoustic properties for use in a disc drive data storage system is provided. In one embodiment, the disc drive spindle motor a base, a stationary member, a rotor and a stator. A bearing interconnects the rotor with the stationary member and allows the rotor to rotate about the stationary member. The stator includes a plurality of teeth extending from a back iron. At least one stiffening member is coupled to the stator, joining the teeth at an end opposite the back iron. The stiffening member substantially reduces vibrations in the stator thereby reducing acoustic noise generated by the motor.

    摘要: A hydrodynamic bearing is provided comprising a shaft having a pair of spaced apart conical bearings supporting a surrounding sleeve for rotations. The sleeve comprises a single piece rather than the two-piece design separated by a rubber expansion joint of the prior art. Instead upper and lower slots are cut into the sleeve, and the rings are pressed or otherwise tightly fitted into each slot. The single piece sleeve which also incorporates the bearing seats for the conical bearings on the shaft, is made of aluminum, while each ring is made of steel (as is the shaft and bearing cones). As the temperature rises at which the hydrodynamic bearing is operated, the sleeve expands axially putting the bearing seat closer to the cone, effectively compensating for the thinning of the fluid which supports the bearing seat and sleeve for rotation relative to the cone. Meanwhile, the steel ring, being of the same material as the shaft, prevents the aluminum sleeve from expanding radially away from the cone. Further, the axial length of the interface between the sleeve and ring can be adjusted to control the amount of thermal compensation into any system, allowing for very accurate control of the thermal compensations scheme.
