A disc driving apparatus is provided with: a turn table on which a disc type record medium is loaded; a clamper opposed to the turn table for clamping the disc type record medium on the turn table by means of a magnetic force applied between the turn table and the clamper; and a spindle motor for rotationally driving the turn table. The clamper has at least 3 abutting portions for abutting to the disc type record medium such that only one of the abutting portions is respectively on a line passing through a center of the clamper in a plain parallel to a record surface of the disc type record medium.
