Abstract

See full text

A spindle motor for magnetic disc device includes a hub having an inside and an outer peripheral side on which a magnetic disc is mounted, a rotary shaft having an axial direction and coupled with the hub so as to be integrally rotated therewith, with the motor being arranged on the inside of the hub. The hub, the rotary shaft and a part of the motor constitute a rotary body. A radial bearing having a length in the axial direction of the rotary shaft, for supporting the rotary body in a direction crossing the rotary shaft, and a thrust bearing for supporting the rotary body in the axial direction of the rotary shaft are provided. The thrust bearing has an outer diameter greater than the length of the radial bearing, and is arranged at a position which is inside of the motor and diametrically inward of the hub.
