Abstract:
A disk drive device includes: a base member; a hub on which a recording disk is placed; a bearing unit arranged on the base member for rotatably supporting the hub; and a spindle drive unit for rotationally driving the hub, wherein the spindle drive unit includes a stator core having salient poles, a coil wound around each of the salient poles, and a magnet having a plurality of magnetic poles arranged in a circumferential direction opposed to the salient poles, the hub includes an outer cylindrical portion formed of a magnetic material and engaged with an inner periphery of the recording disk, and an inner cylindrical portion fixing an outer periphery of the magnet, the number of magnetic poles is an even number in a range of 10 to 16, and the number of salient poles is a multiple of 3 in a range of 12 to 24.
Abstract:
In a rotating device, a recording disk is mounted on a hub. A base rotatably supports the hub via a bearing unit. A core is fixed to the base with a ring portion and a plurality of teeth, with coils wound there around. The bearing unit includes a cylindrical portion that surrounds a radial dynamic pressure groove. The base includes an integrated surrounding portion protruding toward the hub, with the ring portion glued there around. The base further includes an integrated increasing-thickness portion arranged outside of the surrounding portion such that the increasing-thickness portion becomes thicker the closer it is to the surrounding portion. The cylindrical portion is surrounded by the surrounding portion, the surrounding portion is surrounded by the increasing-thickness portion, and a surface of the increasing-thickness portion at least partly overlaps the radial dynamic pressure groove in the axial direction.
Abstract:
The disk drive device includes a base member, a hub, a bearing unit which is arranged on the base member and which rotatably supports the hub, and a spindle drive unit which drives the hub to rotate. The spindle drive unit includes a stator core having a salient pole, a coil wound around the salient pole and a magnet opposed to the salient pole. The hub formed of magnetic material includes an outer cylinder portion engaged with an inner circumference of a recording disk and an inner cylinder portion to which an outer circumference of the magnet is fixed. The diameter of the inner cylinder portion is larger than the diameter of the outer cylinder portion.
