  • Patent number: 8255937
    Abstract: A spindle motor is disclosed which is configured such a manner that a rotor is press-fitted into a portion of a rotor fastener corresponding to a radially thicker portion out of outer portions of the rotor fastener of a clamping device, and a portion of the rotor fastener corresponding to a relatively thinner radial portion is filled up with an adhesive to adhesively couple a case with the rotation shaft side. Consequently, even if the rotation shaft side is coupled with the case, the case is not damaged to therefore enhance the reliability of the product.

  • Patent number: 8082562
    Abstract: A spindle motor and a mounting device for mounting a disk in a spindle motor are provided. The mounting device allows for a reduced number of parts, a reduction in product cost, a disk to be smoothly slid and securely mounted to a turntable, and prevents deforming of a disk during mounting. A center guide member is formed of a plastic material, into which the rotating shaft is inserted at an upper end of the turntable, so that it is capable of rising and descending thereon. The center guide member supports the disk. A back yoke is fixed at an upper side of the center guide member on the rotating shaft, to prevent disengaging of the center guide member from the rotating shaft. An outer portion of the center guide member gradually widens toward a lower end thereof, so that the disk can be inserted more securely.
