Flux leakage barrier in fluid bearing for disk drive

   
   

A spindle design for a hard disk drive assembly constructed in accordance with the present invention includes a significantly large gap between the rotating, ferromagnetic hub with its permanent magnet rotor and the rotating sleeve of the fluid bearing journal member. The large gap may be filled with a medium, such as air, or a non-permeable material. The large gap is preferably on the order of several hundred microns. Because of the large gap, the magnetic flux leakage from the rotating hub members and sleeve into the stationary shaft at the center of the spindle is negligible. Consequently, iron loss in the shaft caused by magnetic flux leakage into the shaft is reduced to acceptable noise levels.

Un diseño del huso para un conjunto impulsor del disco duro construido de acuerdo con la actual invención incluye un boquete perceptiblemente grande entre rotar, el cubo ferromagnético con su rotor permanente del imán y la manga que rota del miembro flúido del diario de cojinete. El boquete grande se puede llenar de un medio, tal como aire, o de un material no-permeable. El boquete grande está preferiblemente en la pedido de vario cientos micrones. Debido a el boquete grande, la salida magnética del flujo de los miembros del cubo que rotan y la manga en el eje inmóvil en el centro del huso es insignificantes. Por lo tanto, la pérdida del hierro en el eje causado por salida magnética del flujo en el eje se reduce a los niveles de ruidos aceptables.
