Spindle motor

   
   

In an outer rotor type spindle motor in which a shaft 2 and a stator 3 are supported by and fixed to a flange 1, damping members 4 and 5 are interposed between the flange 1 and the stator 3 and between the flange 1 and the shaft 2, or the flange 1 itself is formed of a damping material. Thus, electromagnetic vibration from the stator 3 or rotating vibration from the shaft 2 are damped and absorbed by the damping members 4 and 5. Accordingly, the generation of vibration or noise in the flange can be prevented which is caused by the transmission of the electromagnetic vibration generated on the stator due to an alternating current supplied to a stator coil or by the transmission of the rotating vibration of a rotor received by the shaft to the flange.
