    Abstract: A cylindrical portion of an annular support member has a small-diameter portion press-fitted to an inner ring of a bearing, and a large-diameter portion formed by enlarging a part of the cylindrical portion, which is closer to an inboard side than the small-diameter portion. An annular magnet member has an inner-diameter side recessed portion formed by depressing, toward an outboard side, a radially inner part of a surface, in an inboard side, of the annular magnet member, and a wraparound portion that wraps around the annular support member toward the outboard side to a stepped portion between the small-diameter portion and the large-diameter portion. An inner peripheral surface of the wraparound portion protrudes radially inward more than an inner peripheral surface of the small-diameter portion. An inner peripheral surface of the inner-diameter side recessed portion has a gate mark of an inner-diameter side disk gate.
