Abstract
Abstract A driving motor comprises a rotor having a rotatably supported shaft, a rotor case rotating together with the shaft, a hub seat attached to the rotor case for mounting a disk hub and a chucking magnet for magnetically attracting the disk hub and a thrust ball bearing having a washer, a plurality s of balls and a retainer for holding the balls and supporting the load in the thrust direction of the rotor. The motor also includes a flatness control section which passes through the rotor case to contact the washer of the thrust ball bearing and controls the flatness of the washer and a position control section which passes through the rotor case to contact an inner circle surface of the washer of the thrust ball bearing and controls the washer in the thrust direction. The chucking magnet, flatness control section and position control section are integrally molded of resin.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
A floppy disk driving motor comprising: a rotor having a rotatably supported shaft; a rotor case rotating together with said shaft; a hub seat attached to said rotor case for mounting a disk hub and a chucking magnet for magnetically attracting said disk hub; a thrust ball bearing having a washer, a plurality of balls, and a retainer for holding said balls and supporting the load in the thrust direction of said rotor; a flatness control section, which passes through said rotor case to contact said washer of said thrust ball bearing and controls the flatness of said washer, a position control section, which passes through said rotor case to contact an inner circle surface of said washer of said thrust ball bearing and controls said washer in the thrust direction; and wherein said chucking magnet, flatness control section and position control section are integrally molded of resin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
148 words
A floppy disk driving motor comprising: a rotor having a rotatably supported shaft; a rotor case rotating together with said shaft; a hub seat attached to said rotor case for mounting a disk hub and a chucking magnet for magnetically attracting said disk hub; a thrust ball bearing having a washer, a plurality of balls, and a retainer for holding said balls and supporting the load in the thrust direction of said rotor; a flatness control section, which passes through said rotor case to contact said washer of said thrust ball bearing and controls the flatness of said washer, a position control section, which passes through said rotor case to contact an inner circle surface of said washer of said thrust ball bearing and controls said washer in the thrust direction; and wherein said chucking magnet, flatness control section and position control section are integrally molded of resin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
The floppy disk driving motor as set forth in claim 1, wherein an index magnet is integrally molded on said chucking magnet such that it passes through said rotor case to project inside of said motor; a magnetic sensor being provided opposite said index magnet.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
The floppy disk driving motor as set forth in claim 1, wherein said retainer for holding said balls of said thrust ball bearing is contactly fitted to the outer circle surface of a radial bearing which supports said shaft.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
The floppy disk driving motor as set forth in claim 1, wherein said hub seat is integrally molded to said chucking magnet.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The floppy disk driving motor as set forth in claim 2, wherein said hub seat is integrally molded to said chucking magnet.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
39 words
The floppy disk driving motor as set forth in claim 1, wherein said rotor has a frequency generation magnet having a plurality of magnetic poles; said frequency generation magnet being made of the same material as said chucking magnet.
