    摘要: When a cover is joined with the base of a magnetic disc drive by welding, bubbles in the die casting suddenly expand due to high temperature at the time of welding and blow off fused metal, and a blowhole occurs. Low density gas sealed up in a casing is liable to easily leak through a leak path made by joining of blowholes. Embodiments of the present invention provide a joint structure of a base and a cover so that helium does not easily leak through the blowholes by filling low density gas such as helium gas in a disc drive so as to be capable of sealing for a long period of time. According to one embodiment, after assembly of a magnetic disc drive, the magnetic disk drive is put into a basket and sent in a vacuum container containing low vapor pressure oil. After that, the vacuum container is vacuumed, and the magnetic disc drive put in the basket is immersed in low vapor pressure oil, and a valve is opened to make the vacuum container atmospheric pressure condition. By the change of the condition from vacuum to atmospheric pressure, low vapor pressure oil gets into a leak path. Since helium is dissolved in low vapor pressure oil, diffuses in the oil, and moves in the leak path, the passing speed conspicuously lowers.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention help to achieve a solder joining structure having high reliability, in which even if a componential material of a flange of a feed-through of a sealed magnetic disk drive is an iron-based material such as kovar, and a componential material of a base of the drive is an aluminum-based alloy, leakage of low-density gas is dramatically reduced. According to one embodiment, a base has a stepped portion in the inside of a periphery of an opening, and an inclined surface extending to the outside of the base is formed at an edge of a surface of the stepped portion, on which a flange of a feed-through is placed, thereby when the stepped portion of the base is joined by soldering with the flange of the feed-through, a solder fillet is formed not only in the inside of the base, but also in the outside thereof.

    摘要: A rotational member and a stationary member included in a spindle motor provided with air bearings are electrically connected while the bearing is rotating, and abrasion of the rotational member and the stationary member at stages of starting and stopping and damaging the rotational member and the stationary member by external shocks that may be exerted thereon during transportation and handling are avoided. In one embodiment, a sleeve is formed integrally with a motor base. The sleeve has an inside surface serving as a radial-bearing surface that forms a radial bearing together with the outside surface of a rotational shaft, and a thrust-bearing surface that forms thrust bearing together with a thrust plate attached to the rotational shaft. The radial-bearing surface of the sleeve is provided with a recess (groove) for holding lubricating oil while the rotational shaft is rotating. A gap not forming a bearing is formed between the circumference of the thrust plate and the inside surface of the sleeve to hold the lubricating oil while the rotational shaft is rotating.
