摘要

[Problem] Adjustment of skew in the tangential direction has been performed so that the rotation shaft of a spindle motor is perpendicular to the running surface of an optical pickup device after a spindle motor unit and first and second guide materials, which are separate components, are mounted on a chassis; and a skew adjustment member and a cumbersome skew adjustment step have been required. [Solution] Provided are: a spindle motor in which a motor support body for holding the rotation shaft of a spindle motor is directly secured to a chassis, and a bearing internally provided to the motor support body is adjusted so that the rotation shaft is substantially perpendicular to the running surface of an optical pickup device, the running surface being determined by a first guide material and a second guide material directly secured to the chassis in the same manner; and an optical pickup support device in which the spindle motor is used.
