    Abstract: This motor includes a stationary portion including a stator; and a rotating portion supported to be rotatable about a central axis extending in a vertical direction with respect to the stationary portion, and including a shaft arranged to extend along the central axis. The stationary portion includes a bearing arranged to rotatably support the shaft, and a base portion arranged to hold the stator. The rotating portion includes a rotor hub portion arranged to extend in an annular shape around the shaft; a magnet directly or indirectly fixed to the rotor hub portion, and arranged opposite to the stator; a flywheel arranged axially above the rotor hub portion; and a seal portion arranged to have a thickness smaller than the thickness of the magnet. At least a portion of an outer circumferential surface of the rotor hub portion is a metal surface. The metal surface has a reflectivity higher than the reflectivity of an outer circumferential surface of the flywheel and the reflectivity of a surface of the seal portion. The metal surface is covered with the seal portion.

    Abstract: A motor includes a rotating portion, a stationary portion, and a bearing arranged to support the rotating portion such that the rotating portion is rotatable with respect to the stationary portion. The rotating portion includes a shaft arranged to extend along a central axis, a magnet, a rotor hub arranged to extend in an annular shape around the shaft, and a flywheel fixed to the rotor hub. At least a portion of an outward surface of the rotor hub is a metal surface. The metal surface is arranged radially inward of an outer circumferential surface of the flywheel. A reflectance of the outer circumferential surface of the flywheel is lower than a reflectance of the metal surface.

    Abstract: A motor includes a rotating portion. The rotating portion includes a shaft, a rotor hub, and a flywheel. The rotor hub is arranged to extend in an annular shape around the shaft. The flywheel is arranged axially above the rotor hub. The rotor hub includes a joining portion fixed to an outer circumferential surface of the shaft. A center of gravity of the rotating portion and the joining portion of the rotor hub are arranged to radially overlap with each other. The center of gravity of the rotating portion is arranged axially above a radial bearing portion and at a level equivalent to the level of the joining portion.

    Abstract: A spindle motor is configured to rotate a disk in a case defined by a base plate and a top cover arranged to cover an upper side of the base plate. The spindle motor includes a fluid dynamic bearing including a lubricant oil. A rotating portion body of the spindle motor includes an air hole. An upper opening of the air hole is in communication with an annular space between the top cover and the rotating portion body. A lower opening of the air hole is in communication with a gap between a stator and a magnet. Accordingly, even if a gas including the lubricant oil vaporized through a liquid surface of the lubricant oil leaks into the annular space, at least a portion of the gas including the lubricant oil flows into the air hole.
