  • Patent number: 8198766
    Abstract: A spindle motor is disclosed, wherein a coupling protruder of a stopper is penetrated into a rotor yoke by caulking. Therefore, no foreign objects that are generated from welding process are produced to inhibit the spindle motor from generating defects caused by the foreign objects and to improve the product reliability. Furthermore, the coupled protruder of the stopper is coupled to the rotor yoke by caulking, to make an assembly process simple. Still furthermore, the spindle motor according to the present invention is economical in that, in a case the coupled stopper is to be separated from the rotor yoke, the coupled stopper and the rotor yoke can be simply separated by cutting off a caulked portion of the coupled protruder, thereby allowing the rotor yoke to be re-used.
