    摘要: A spindle motor includes a stationary portion, a rotating portion arranged to rotate about a central axis extending in a vertical direction, and a bearing portion arranged to support the rotating portion such that the rotating portion is rotatable with respect to the stationary portion. The stationary portion includes a stator unit including a plurality of coils arranged in an annular shape with the central axis as a center; a base portion arranged below the stator unit; and a housing arranged to define an interior space in which the rotating portion, the bearing portion, and the stator unit are accommodated. The base portion includes a through hole arranged to pass through the base portion in an axial direction to join an outside of the housing and the interior space to each other; a sheet arranged to cover an upper opening of the through hole to close the through hole; a filler arranged to cover a lower opening of the through hole; and a vent passage defined in at least one of the base portion and the sheet to join the through hole and the interior space to each other. Thus, the filler can be easily put into the through hole.

    摘要: This motor is arranged to rotate an annular member, and includes a stationary portion including a stator, and a rotating portion arranged to be rotatable about a central axis extending in a vertical direction. The rotating portion includes a hub arranged to extend in an annular shape around the central axis; a magnet including a pole surface arranged radially opposite to the stator; and a yoke to which the magnet is fixed. The hub includes a hub annular portion in the shape of a circular ring and arranged above the stator, and a flange surface on which the annular member is arranged. The yoke includes a yoke increased thickness portion arranged radially outside of the magnet; and a yoke decreased thickness portion arranged to have a radial thickness smaller than that of the yoke increased thickness portion, and arranged axially above the yoke increased thickness portion. The yoke decreased thickness portion is fixed to the hub annular portion through press fitting.

    摘要: A motor includes a seal cap and a tubular portion. The seal cap includes a first seal cap lower surface which is an annular surface facing axially downward, and a second seal cap lower surface which is an annular surface facing axially downward and arranged radially outward of the first seal cap lower surface. The tubular portion includes a first tubular portion upper surface which is an annular surface arranged axially opposite to the first seal cap lower surface, and a second tubular portion upper surface which is an annular surface arranged radially outward of the first tubular portion upper surface and in contact with the second seal cap lower surface. The first tubular portion upper surface includes an oil-repellent film region covered with an oil-repellent film. A substantially annular radially extending gap is defined between the first tubular portion upper surface and the first seal cap lower surface.

    摘要: A spindle motor arranged to rotate a disk about a center axis extending in an up-down direction includes a rotary unit including a rotor magnet and a stationary unit including a stator opposed to the rotor magnet and a base plate. The base plate includes a flat plate-shaped member positioned around the center axis and made of a first kind of metallic material and a base body axially overlapping with the plate-shaped member and made of a second kind of metallic material. The first kind of metallic material is larger in Young's modulus than the second kind of metallic material. The base body includes a cylindrical or substantially cylindrical bearing attachment portion axially extending about the center axis and a bottom plate portion radially extending from a lower portion of the bearing attachment portion. The plate-shaped member is positioned below the bottom plate portion to contact the bottom plate portion.

    摘要: A protrusion includes a leading end to which a yoke is fixed and a connector that connects an axially lower end of a flange and the leading end. A minimum width of the connector in a direction intersecting a direction in which the protrusion protrudes is smaller than a maximum width of the leading end in a radial direction. A radial position at a radially inner end of the leading end is located radially outward with respect to a side surface in a radially inward direction of a magnet.
