  • Publication number: 20120313470
    Abstract: There is provided a motor including: a sleeve supporting a shaft and a thrust plate coupled to the shaft through oil; a hub operating together with the shaft and including a magnet coupled thereto; a base including the sleeve and a core coupled thereto, the core including a coil wound therearound; and a base cover coupled to the sleeve to thereby close a lower portion of the sleeve, wherein an interval between the sleeve and the hub is smaller than an interval between the thrust plate and the base cover in order to maintain a state of non-contact between the thrust plate and the base cover.
