An electric motor for a magnetic disk memory device includes a conical hub and a conical plane or grooved base and an integral air-bearing which significantly reduces non-repeatable runout, audible noise, and vibration. The base is rigidly attached to the shaft while the hub, which carries all of the load, rotates on the air cushion created by a pressurized air film. An upper sleeve controls the pressure fluctuation in the air film in a dynamic condition. In a static condition, the hub rests on a dry lubricated surface. The force developed due to the pressurized air film balances the rotating member in any condition. |
