<p>A spindle motor (20) comprises a baseplate (22), a shaft (26) supported by said baseplate (22), a stator assembly (21) having windings (31), the stator (21) being rigidly attached to said baseplate (22), injection molded thermoplastic material (36) encapsulating said windings (31), and a hub (28) supported on said shaft (26), said hub (28) having a magnet (23) connected thereto in operable proximity to the stator assembly (21). In one embodiment, a stator (71) is cordless. In order embodiments, the stator (21) has a core (24) and the core is substantially encapsulated by the thermoplastic material (36). In preferred embodiments, the thermoplastic material (36) secures the stator to the baseplate (22) or forms the baseplate (22).</p> |
