摘要: A hard disk drive includes at least one magnetic disk and a motor assembly. The motor assembly is configured to rotatably support the magnetic disk(s) and circumferentially rotate the magnetic disk(s) about an axis of rotation during operations of the hard disk drive. The motor assembly includes at least one rotational balancing spring pin. Each rotational balancing spring pin is configured to reduce a rotating unbalance of the motor assembly.

摘要: A data storage device has a closed loop extended park mode during spin down operation. A data storage device comprises a spindle motor configured to rotate one or more disks, and one or more processing devices. The one or more processing devices are configured to determine a value of current that is discharged from the spindle motor over time during a spin down of the spindle motor, and control a braking duty cycle for braking the spindle motor during the spin down such that the value of current discharged from the spindle motor over time does not exceed a selected current limit.

摘要: A motor includes a shaft, a base portion, a stator, and a rotor. The shaft extends along a central axis extending in an axial direction. The base portion extends in a radial direction on one axial direction side of the shaft. The stator is located in another axial direction with respect to the base portion and surrounds the shaft. The rotor is rotatable around the central axis. The rotor includes a rotor tube portion, a magnet, and a rotor flange portion. The rotor tube portion surrounds the stator. The magnet is opposed to the stator in the radial direction. The rotor flange portion extends in a radially outer direction from one axial end portion of the rotor tube portion. The rotor tube portion includes a yoke tube portion and a hub tube portion. The yoke tube portion is located on a radially inside surface of the hub tube portion.

摘要: A dual disk spindle motor hard disk drive includes a first portion having a first spindle motor and a first disk media stack mounted thereon and housed in a first enclosure, and a second portion having a coaxial second spindle motor and a second disk media stack mounted thereon and housed in a second enclosure, where the second portion further includes both the first actuator and head sliders corresponding to the first disk stack as well as the second actuator and head sliders corresponding to the second disk stack. The first and second portions are coupled together such that the open sides of the enclosures mate, referred to herein as a clamshell configuration, and each separate spindle motor is configured to operate independently of the other. With independent control of multiple spindle motors, various control functions may be utilized to address power consumption and temperature control.

摘要: A method includes coupling an electric motor in a hard disk drive to a set of driver circuits. Each driver circuit includes a high-side switch and a low-side switch. The high-side switch has a high-side current flow path between a supply node coupled to a supply voltage and a switching node coupled to a winding of the electric motor. The low-side switch has a low-side current flow path between the switching node and ground. Respective conduction currents are generated through the low-side current flow paths, in response to a command to reduce the motor speed by coupling a drive voltage to the control terminals of the low-side switches. An intensity of at least one of the respective conduction currents is sensed. In response to the sensed current intensity exceeding a current intensity threshold, the control terminals of the low-side switches are coupled to respective ones of the switching nodes.
