摘要： An apparatus and method for correcting single plane and coupled plane imbalance with a single mass in a hard disk drive. The method provides for measuring a single-plane imbalance of a hard disk assembly and for measuring a coupled-plane imbalance of the hard disk assembly. A greater imbalance from the single-plane imbalance and the coupled-plane imbalance is determined. A single mass is applied to the hard disk assembly to correct the greater imbalance.

摘要： A disk clamp for securing data storage disks to the hub of a spindle motor in a hard disk drive has a circumferential rib protruding from a lower surface of the disk clamp. A complementary recess is formed in the hub of the spindle motor for closely receiving the rib on the disk clamp. The inner diameter of the rib and the outer diameter of the recess are closely toleranced to provide a very precise centering feature for mounting and aligning the disk clamp with respect to the hub and spindle motor. This design reduces the complexity of the tooling and fixtures required to complete the assembly and the overall part cost is reduced.

摘要： A method of enabling a reliable, motor-to-base merge process is designed for motors that are attached to a base with screws that mount from outside of the base. An assembly fixture receives the motor, which has a tooling hole for circumferentially locating the motor relative to the base. The assembly fixture closely receives the motor and has a tooling pin that engages the tooling hole to prevent rotation of the motor relative to the assembly fixture. During the motor-to-base merge process, the motor is inverted with the tooling pin in the tooling hole. The assembly fixture aligns the threaded screw holes in the motor with the mounting holes on the base.

摘要： A device for centering and securing data storage disks to the hub of a spindle motor in a hard disk drive has a chamfer and a countersink on the top of the spindle motor shaft center. During the hard disk drive assembly process, a disk centering tool engages and uses these features to locate and center the disks that are installed on the spindle motor. The features are closely toleranced to provide a very precise centering feature for mounting and aligning the media disks with respect to the hub and the spindle motor. The present design reduces the complexity of the tooling and fixtures required to complete the assembly. As a result, the overall part cost is reduced and the manufacturing yield is improved.

摘要： A balance clip in a hard disk drive spindle motor facilitates improved disk pack balance correction. The balance clip has one end that is offset from the semi-circular shape of the body of the balance clip. The offset end is located opposite the precise bent tab that provides tooling engagement in the balance clip. The offset end of the balance clip is offset at a radius that is less than the radius of the balance clip, or at a pre-determined, lesser radial offset from the original circular shape. Consequently, the cross-sectional edge of the clip at the offset end does not make contact with the surface of the groove in which the balance clip is seated. This design eliminates scratching between the offset end and motor hub, and thereby greatly reduces friction and particle generation during clip adjustment in the disk pack balancing process.

摘要翻译： 硬盘驱动器主轴电机中的平衡夹可以改善磁盘组平衡校正。 平衡夹具的一端偏离平衡夹体的半圆形状。 偏移端位于与精确弯曲突出部相对的位置，该平衡夹提供了与平衡夹的加工接合。 平衡夹的偏移端在小于平衡夹的半径的半径处或者与原始圆形形状的预定的较小的径向偏移处偏移。 因此，夹持器在偏移端处的横截面边缘不与平衡夹座所在槽的表面接触。 该设计消除了偏移端和电动机轮毂之间的划痕，从而大大降低了磁盘组平衡过程中的夹子调整过程中的摩擦和颗粒产生。

摘要： A hard disk drive has a motor mounting bracket with mounting screws that attach from outside the drive and external to the seal with a screw bolt pattern diameter that is larger than an outer diameter of the motor hub. This configuration greatly reduces contamination inside the disk drive since all contaminants due to the screws are sealed from entering the disk drive. Consequently, the bottom of the mounting bracket is extended to the form factor limit to increase the internal space that is provided for the stator/winding of the motor. In relatively high platter count disk drives, the bottom disk is positioned very close to the motor bracket with this approach, which normally would cause the air drag to increase drastically and thereby impede the performance of the disk drive. Bosses may be used on the bracket to accommodate blind tap hole depths from the external surface of the bracket.

摘要翻译： 硬盘驱动器具有电机安装支架，其具有安装螺钉，其从驱动器的外部附接到密封件的外部，螺栓图案直径大于电动机毂的外径。 这种配置大大减少了磁盘驱动器内的污染，因为由于螺钉所引起的所有污染物都被密封进入磁盘驱动器。 因此，安装支架的底部延伸到形状因数限制，以增加为电动机的定子/绕组提供的内部空间。 在相对较高的盘片计数磁盘驱动器中，底盘被定位成非常接近电机支架，这通常会导致空气阻力急剧增加，从而阻碍磁盘驱动器的性能。 可以在支架上使用凸台以适应从支架外表面的盲孔深度。
