<p>A disk storage device, comprising: a housing having walls (10) enclosing a clean room chamber (CR), at least one data storage disk (30) located in said clean room chamber (CR); a read head (32) positioned to cooperate with a surface on said at least on data storage disk (30) to read data recorded thereon; and a motor for rotating said at least on data storage disk (30), said motor including: a hub (14) for receiving said data storage disk (30); a shaft (16) attached to said hub (14) for rotation therewith; a bearing system including a cylindrical support member (24) and first and second axially spaced bearings (18, 20) for rotatably supporting said shaft (16) and hub (14); a rotor (17) having a cylindrical surface and fixed to said shaft (16) at an end thereof opposite said hub (14); an annular permanent magnet (18) mounted on the cylindrical surface of said rotor (17); and a stator (28) including a winding (29), said stator (28) being affixed to a wall (26) of said housing and surrounding said annular permanent magnet (18) so as to be spaced therefrom by a cylindrically-shaped air gap (AG), whereby magnetic flux generated by said stator (28) interacts with said permanent magnet (18) to apply a rotary driving force to said rotor (17), shaft (16) and hub (14) wherein said cylindrical support member (24) is supported on a wall of said housing and has a first portion projecting from said wall into said clean room chamber (CR) and a second portion, coaxial with said first portion, projecting from said wall away from said clean room chamber (CR), an in that said first portion and said second portion project approximately the same distance, and wherein at least a portion of said second axially spaced bearing is in a plane coincident with a base plate wall of the housing. <IMAGE></p> |
