Abstract:
A rotating device includes a sleeve which encircles a shaft, a housing which supports the shaft and which forms an annular supporting recess where the lower end of the sleeve enters together with the shaft, a ring member which is provided above the sleeve and which is fixed to the shaft in a manner encircling the shaft. A first gap between the sleeve and the shaft includes first and second radial dynamic pressure generating portions. An annular sleeve recess is formed in upper face of the sleeve. The ring member includes a ring entering portion that enters the sleeve recess in a non-contact manner. An outward gap in the radial direction where the ring entering portion and the sleeve recess face with each other in the radial direction includes a second air-liquid interface of a lubricant.
Abstract:
A rotating device includes a rotor on which a magnetic recording disk is to be mounted and a stator configured to rotatably support the rotor. The stator includes a support projection extending along a rotating axis of the rotor, a shaft configured to surround the support projection and fixed to the support projection, a top cover covering the rotor, and a shaft fixing screw configured to fix the top cover to the shaft. The shaft fixing screw enters a shaft fixing screw hole formed in the support projection along the rotating axis.
Abstract:
A rotating device includes a shaft body that includes a lower rod and an upper rod formed with a retainer hole encircling a part of the lower rod and fixing the lower rod, a bearing body including a shaft encircling member that encircles the shaft body, and freely rotatable relative to the shaft body, a radial dynamic pressure generating groove which is provided in either one of the shaft body and the bearing body and which generates dynamic pressure in a radial direction, a thrust dynamic pressure generating groove which is provided in either one of the shaft body and the bearing body and which generates dynamic pressure in a thrust direction, and a lubrication medium present in a gap between the shaft body and the bearing body.
Abstract:
A rotating device comprises: a hub on which a magnetic recording disk is to be mounted; a base configured to rotatably support the hub via a bearing; a shaft configured such that it extends along the rotational axis of the hub; and a chassis arranged such that it faces the magnetic recording disk, and configured to have a Young's modulus that is smaller than that of the base. A base hole is provided to the upper face of the chassis that faces the magnetic recording disk such that it extends along the rotational axis. Furthermore, the base is fitted into the base hole, thereby fixedly mounting the base on the chassis.

Abstract:
A disk drive device comprises a rotor on which a recording disk is to be mounted and a fixed body rotatably supporting the rotor through a bearing unit. The rotor includes a projecting portion configured to fit into a central hole of the recording disk, a clamper configured to be fixed to the projecting portion, and a seating portion provided radially outward of the projecting portion. The projecting portion and the seating portion are configured such that the seating portion moves with respect to the projecting portion by fixing the clamper to the projecting portion with the recording disk being in between the clamper and the seating portion.
