This spindle motor comprises a shaft, a base part, a
stator core, a rotor, and a bearing part. The shaft extends along a center axis extending in the vertical direction. The shaft has a screw hole extending axially downward from the upper end thereof. The screw hole has a screw section screwed to a screw. The bearing part comprises an upper annular member, a lower annular member, and a sleeve. The upper annular member and the lower annular member protrude radially outward from an outer
peripheral surface of the shaft and are disposed to be spaced apart from each other in the axial direction. The sleeve has an
insertion hole into which the shaft is inserted. The sleeve covers the outer
peripheral surface of the shaft, axially extends, and is formed in a cylindrical shape. The upper end of the upper annular member is disposed further axially downward than the lower end of the screw section.
