Abstract

In an outer rotor motor (1): a hub base (3) is in a center of an upper side of the motor (1); a chucking magnet (16) for carrying a disk is near the hub base (3); a spindle (4) is fixed to a central hole of a rotor yoke which is provided with a permanent magnet (15) in its outer peripheral portion; the spindle (4) is supported by a bearing (5) fixed to a boss (7b) of a bearing housing (7) in which a ring-like rib (7c) is concentrically formed around the boss (7b) to form a circumferential groove (7d) therebetween and a hub of a stator (8) is mounted on the rib (7c); a leaf spring (12) is over the groove (7d) of the bearing housing placed under the base (3); and a drive pin (10) is fixed to a free end of the spring (12) to extend upward from the base (3) due to its resiliency through a hole of the hub base (3).
