ROTATING DEVICE HAVING A ROTOR AND A STATOR

摘要

The rotating device comprises the rotor to which the magnetic recording disk is to be mounted and a stator rotatably supporting the rotor. The stator includes: a bearing unit rotatably supporting the rotor by generating dynamic pressure in lubricant that intervenes between the rotor and the stator; and a base on which a central hole is formed, the center of the central hole being along the rotational axis of the rotor and the bearing unit being fixed to the central hole. The bearing unit includes the housing and the sleeve. The housing includes: a first outer surface joining the central hole; and a second outer surface formed more radially outward from the rotational axis than the first outer surface, the second outer surface partly overlapping the first outer surface in the axial direction.
