Abstract

See full text

A spindle motor having a rotor R and a stator S. The stator S comprises a stator housing 80, a first bearing 82, a second bearing 84, a stator yoke 86, and a drive coil 88. The first bearing 82 is held in the stator housing 80 and supports a shaft 60, allowing the shaft 60 to rotate. The second bearing 84 provided between the stator housing 80 and a rotor housing 50, arranged concentric to the first bearing 82 in a radial direction, and supporting a rotor R, allowing the rotor R to rotate. The stator yoke 86 is formed integral with the stator housing 80, constituting a part of a housing 2 containing the rotor R and the stator S, and is made of magnetically permeable material. The drive coil 88 mounted on the stator yoke 86 and arranged in face-to-face relation with the drive magnet 58.
