Abstract

A spindle motor having a turntable is disclosed, the spindle motor including a rotation shaft, a stator including a coil wound with a core arranged at a periphery of the rotation shaft, a rotor including a yoke coupled to the rotation shaft and a magnet arranged at an inner surface of the yoke, and a turn table coupled to the rotor and formed with a groove accommodating a ball, wherein a ratio (Yr/Bd) of a radius (Yr) between a center of the rotation shaft and an external surface of the yoke relative to a diameter (Bd) of the ball to reduce vibration of the rotor and the turn table is in the range of 4.6˜4.9.

Claims (27)

1 . A spindle motor, the spindle motor comprising:

a rotation shaft;

a stator including a coil wound with a core arranged at a periphery of the rotation shaft;

a rotor including a yoke coupled to the rotation shaft and a magnet arranged at an inner surface of the yoke; and

a turn table coupled to the rotor and formed with a groove accommodating a ball, wherein a ratio (Yr/Bd) of a radius (Yr) between a center of the rotation shaft and an external surface of the yoke relative to a diameter (Bd) of the ball to reduce vibration of the rotor and the turn table is in the range of 4.6˜4.9.

2 . The spindle motor of claim 1 , wherein the ratio (Yr/Bd) of a radius of the external surface of the yoke relative to the diameter (Bd) of the ball is 4.72.

3 . The spindle motor of claim 1 , wherein the diameter (Bd) of the ball is in the range of 2.30 mm˜2.40 mm.

4 . The spindle motor of claim 3 , wherein the diameter (Bd) of the ball is 2.381 mm.

5 . A spindle motor, the spindle motor comprising:

a rotation shaft;

a stator including a coil wound with a core arranged at a periphery of the rotation shaft;

a rotor including a yoke coupled to the rotation shaft and a magnet arranged at an inner surface of the yoke; and

a turn table coupled to the rotor and formed with a groove accommodating a ball, wherein a radius of an inner surface at an external side contacting the ball by centrifugal force among the inner surfaces of the groove to reduce vibration caused by reduction in eccentricity of the turn table is formed smaller than a radius (Yr) of an external surface of the yoke.

6 . The spindle motor of claim 5 , wherein the ratio (Yr/Bd) of a radius (Yr) of the external surface of the yoke relative to the diameter (Bd) of the ball to reduce vibration of the rotor and the turn table is in the range of 4.6˜4.9.

7 . The spindle motor of claim 6 , wherein the ratio (Yr/Bd) of a radius of the external surface of the yoke relative to the diameter (Bd) of the ball is 4.72.

8 . The spindle motor of claim 6 , wherein the diameter (Bd) of the ball is in the range of 2.30 mm˜2.40 mm.

9 . The spindle motor of claim 6 , wherein the diameter (Bd) of the ball is 2.381 mm.

10 . A spindle motor, the spindle motor comprising:

a rotation shaft;

a stator including a coil wound with a core arranged at a periphery of the rotation shaft;

a rotor including a yoke coupled to the rotation shaft and a magnet arranged at an inner surface of the yoke;

a turn table coupled to the rotor and formed with a trench-shaped groove accommodating a ball; and

a cover blocking an opening of the groove,

wherein a ratio (Yr/Bd) of a radius (Yr) between a center of the rotation shaft and the external surface of the yoke relative to the diameter (Bd) of the ball to reduce vibration of the rotor and the turn table is in the range of 4.6˜4.9, and a radius of an inner surface at an external side contacting the ball by centrifugal force among the inner surfaces of the groove to reduce vibration caused by reduction in eccentricity of the turn table is formed smaller than a radius (Yr) of an external surface of the yoke.

11 . The spindle motor of claim 10 , wherein the ratio (Yr/Bd) of a radius of the external surface of the yoke relative to the diameter (Bd) of the ball is 4.72.

12 . The spindle motor of claim 10 , wherein the diameter (Bd) of the ball is in the range of 2.30 mm˜2.40 mm.

13 . The spindle motor of claim 10 , wherein the diameter (Bd) of the ball is 2.381 mm.
