Radial and axial play elimination arrangement for CD player - allows magnetic force to act between disc and circle segment on fixed retainer that guides spindle

摘要

The arrangement eliminates radial and axial play in a spindle (A) on which a disc (S, RM) sits and that is guided by a fixed retainer (F,P). The materials from which the disc and the retainer are made allow a magnetic tone to act between these two components. A segment (K) of a circle is arranged on the retainer next to the disc. A magnetic tone acts between the segment and the disc. The spindle's bearing (M) is fixed to a flange (F) which is in turn fixed to a casing (G). The flange has a ring magnet (RM) through which the spindle passes. The said segment is located next to the disc on the flange. The flange and the segment are metal.
