A spindle motor having a housing, a hub member rotatable relative to the housing, a bearing means disposed between the housing and the hub member, a rotor magnet mounted on the hub member, and a stator disposed in a facing relationship with the rotor magnet. The hub member includes a supporting wall portion, which cooperates with the stator to constitute an air seal structure. A magnetic fluid seal means is provided at a position outward of the bearing means, and includes a conductive plate for ...

A scanning motor having a bracket, a shaft member secured to the bracket, a rotor rotatably supported by the shaft member via a pair of bearings and a polygonal mirror fastened to the rotor, the polygonal mirror being disposed at a position on the outside of either of a pair of the bearings. The rotor has a rotor body and a yoke member which constitutes a balance adjusting groove in cooperation with a frequency generating magnet fastened to the yoke member. A motor having a bracket, a rotor, mag...

A spindle motor includes a housing, a shaft member fixed in the housing, a rotor rotatably supported on the shaft member, a rotor magnet mounted on the rotor, and a stator placed facing with the rotor magnet. The housing and the shaft member are made of materials different in hardness and a sleeve having substantially the same level of hardness as the shaft member is placed between the housing and the shaft member. A bushing is provided between bearing members and the rotor which is rotatably su...

A motor includes a rotor having a permanent magnet circumferentially equally divided and alternately magnetized to different poles formed into a cylindrical shape, and a first coil. The rotor and a second coil may be successively disposed axially of the rotor. A first outer magnetic pole and a first inner magnetic pole excited by the first coil may be opposed to the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the rotor, and a second outer magnetic pole and a second inner magneti...

In a motor, a rotor made of a permanent magnet which is equally divided in the circumferential direction to be alternately magnetized to different poles is formed into a cylindrical shape. The first coil, the rotor, and the second coil are sequentially arranged in the axial direction of the rotor. The first outer and inner magnetic poles excited by the first coil are set to oppose the outer and inner circumferential surfaces, respectively, of the rotor, and the second outer and inner magnetic po...

A small motor for use in an information-communication appratus, an audio-visual apparatus or the like, and a motor for use in a portable pager and a portable telephone or the like for generating vibrations to be transmitted to a human body, the motors being efficient, small and thin in size, and having a high degree of freedom when mounted on an apparatus. To realize the motor as described above, K pieces of (K indicating any integer greater than one) magnetic units (4a, 4b, 4c) having N and S p...
