Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a spindle motor and a disk drive. Background technique
[0002] A spindle motor that rotates a disk around its central axis is installed in a hard disk drive or an optical disk drive. The spindle motor has a stationary part fixed to the device case and a rotating part supporting and rotating the disk. The spindle motor generates torque around a central axis by using magnetic flux generated between the stationary part and the rotating part, thereby rotating the rotating part relative to the stationary part.
[0003] Some of the conventional spindle motors have a magnetic member for attracting the rotating part toward the stationary part. The magnetic member is fixed to the stationary portion, and an axial magnetic attraction force is generated between the magnetic member and the magnet on the rotating portion side. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-309605 describes a magnetic ring that is att...
