  • Publication number: 20090067765
    Abstract: Provided is a spindle motor having a hydrodynamic bearing with an improved structure to prevent oil leakage due to a centrifugal force generated when the motor is rotating. In the spindle motor, an oil gap is formed between a rotor and a fixing body to form the hydrodynamic bearing to rotate the rotor, and an oil groove is formed in a surface of the rotor or the fixing body, which faces the oil gap. Also, a taper seal is formed in an area that extends from the oil gap and contacts the air, between the rotor and the fixing body, and the rotor constituting the taper seal is placed of the rotation center of the fixing body. Thus, thus the amount of oil in the taper seal is minimized and oil leakage can be stably prevented.
