<p>Hard disc drive spindle motor comprising a base with a stator yoke and coils and a stationary spindle (3) mounted thereon. A rotor (4) with a bore (6) is mounted for rotation about the spindle (3) by two spaced bearings each including a row of balls (14) and axially located by a cylindrical spacer (15). A plurality of toroidal sealing plates (16a, 16b, 16c) separated by axial gaps (S1, S2, S3) are each connected to either an enlarged diameter portion (6a, 6b) of the bore (6) or a reduced diameter portion (3a) of the spindle (3) and separated from the other of the bore (6) and the spindle (3) by a radial gap ( alpha 1, alpha 2, alpha 3) the radial gaps being alternately adjacent the bore (6) and the spindle (3) to form a labyrinth path through the seal. The seal may alternatively include one or two sealing plates in combination with an annular magnetic plate fixed to the bore (6) and acting to hold magnetic fluid between the spindle (3) and the magnetic plate. <IMAGE></p> |
