20100220412 | MANUFACTURING METHOD OF DISK DRIVE DEVICE CAPABLE OF REDUCING AMOUNT OF UNBALANCE, DISK DRIVE DEVICE AND SUBASSEMBLY THEREOF - A disk drive device is provided with a recording disk, a base member, a bearing unit, and a hub member. In a marking step, unbalance information indicating the displacement of the center of gravity of the hub member with respect to the rotation center of the hub member is acquired, and an information mark containing the unbalance information is applied to at least the hub member or the base member. In an installing and adjustment step, the unbalance information is read form the information mark, and the position for installing the recording disk in an outer cylinder part is determined in accordance with the unbalance information so as to install the recording disk on the hub member. | 09-02-2010 |
20110096437 | DISK DRIVE DEVICE HAVING A LAMINATED CORE - In A disk drive device, a magnetic recording disk is to be mounted on a hub. A base plate rotatably supports the hub through a bearing unit. A projecting portion is formed on the upper surface of the base plate. The projecting portion has a cylindrical side surface, the center of which being along the rotational axis of the motor. A laminated core is formed by laminating eight magnetic steel sheets and has a ring portion and a plurality of teeth that extend radially from the ring portion. The disk drive device has a tubular vibration-deadening ring. The outer surface of the vibration-deadening ring is press-fitted into the ring portion, and the inner surface is fixed to the side surface of the projecting portion. The outer surface of the vibration-deadening ring is pressed against the ring portion at least at a position closer, in the direction along the rotational axis of the motor, to the upper surface of the laminated core than to the lower surface of the laminated core. | 04-28-2011 |
20110304238 | ROTATING MACHINE PROVIDED WITH STATOR CORE - A recording disk is to be mounted on a hub. A base rotatably supports the hub through a bearing. A stator core is fixed to the base and includes an annular portion and a salient pole extending radially therefrom. A magnet faces the salient pole radially and is rotated with the hub. The magnet has a plurality of magnetic poles in the circumferential direction such that each of the plurality of magnetic poles faces the salient pole. The salient pole includes a rod-shaped body around which a wire is wound and a tooth portion that is provided radially outside the rod-shaped body and extends circumferentially. The circumferential end located at the end in the circumferential direction of the tooth portion is located radially inside a circumscribed circle passing through the tip located at the radially outermost end of the tooth portion. | 12-15-2011 |
20130077462 | MANUFACTURING METHOD OF DISK DRIVE DEVICE CAPABLE OF REDUCING AMOUNT OF UNBALANCE, DISK DRIVE DEVICE AND SUBASSEMBLY THEREOF - A disk drive device is provided with a recording disk, a base member, a bearing unit, and a hub member. In a marking step, unbalance information indicating the displacement of the center of gravity of the hub member with respect to the rotation center of the hub member is acquired, and an information mark containing the unbalance information is applied to at least the hub member or the base member. In an installing and adjustment step, the unbalance information is read form the information mark, and the position for installing the recording disk in an outer cylinder part is determined in accordance with the unbalance information so as to install the recording disk on the hub member. | 03-28-2013 |
20130216168 | ROTATING DEVICE - A rotating device comprises a hub, a shaft, and a bearing unit. The bearing unit includes a surrounding portion arranged to surround the shaft, and a facing portion arranged to face an end of the shaft. A gap between the shaft and the surrounding portion includes two dynamic pressure generation portions and an intermediate portion arranged between the two dynamic pressure generation portions. The bearing unit further includes a path of a lubricant arranged to connect one side of one dynamic pressure generation portion and the intermediate portion. The shaft and the bearing unit are arranged so that the lubricant pushed out of the other dynamic pressure generation portion towards a gap between the end of the shaft and the facing portion stays in the gap. | 08-22-2013 |
20130222946 | DISK DRIVE DEVICE HAVING A VIBRATION-REDUCING ELEMENT - In a disk drive device, a magnetic recording disk is to be mounted on a hub. A base plate rotatably supports the hub through a bearing unit. A projecting portion is formed on the upper surface of the base plate having a cylindrical side surface centered along the rotational axis of the motor. A laminated core is formed by laminating magnetic steel sheets and has a ring portion and a plurality of teeth radially extending from the ring portion. The disk drive device has a tubular vibration-deadening ring. The outer surface of the vibration-deadening ring is press-fitted into the ring portion at least at a position, along the motor's rotational axis, closer to the upper surface than to the lower surface of the laminated core; and the inner surface of the vibration-deadening ring is fixed to the side surface of the projecting portion. | 08-29-2013 |
20140111885 | ROTATING DEVICE - A rotating device is provided with: a hub that is rotatably supported by the base and on which a recording disk is to be mounted; a yoke that is fixedly provided on the hub and is configured to hold a magnet; a bearing unit in which one end thereof is fixedly provided on the base and in which the other end thereof is configured to hold the hub; and a coil that is fixedly provided on the base and is configured to generate electromagnetic interaction with the magnet. The hub has a screw hole in which a screw for fixing a clamper, which is used to fix the recording disk to the hub, to the hub is screwed. The screw hole penetrates the hub. The yoke is configured such that the yoke covers one end of the screw hole. | 04-24-2014 |
20140146416 | ROTATING DEVICE - A rotating device includes a rotor including a hub to receive a recording disk, and a fixed body including a base that fixedly supports a bearing unit to rotatably support the rotor. The fixed body includes a core having a cylindrical part and salient poles extending in a radial direction, a ring-shaped member having a core holding part that has the core fixed to an outer peripheral surface thereof, a sloping part extending in a direction inclined with respect to a rotational axis of the rotor from a side of the core holding part farther away from the hub, and a support part extending from a side of the sloping part farther away from the hub. | 05-29-2014 |
