Abstract
An information storage disk holding member for holding an information storage disk in position in an information storage disk drive device, the holding member being made of glass-ceramics in which a crystal phase is dispersed in a glass matrix. The holding member has specific rigidity (Young's modulus/specific gravity) of not greater than 37 GPa, specific gravity of not greater than 3.0, coefficient of thermal expansion within a range from −50° C. to +70° C. which is within a range from +35×10−7/° C. to +130×10−7/° C., Young's modulus within a range from 95 GPa to 130 GPa, specific gravity within a range from 2.40 to 2.60 and bending strength within a range from 400 MPa to 800 MPa.There is provided an information storage disk holding member which is capable of coping with a high speed rotation of a disk in conformity with tendencies toward high speed transmission of information, increasing mechanical strength for adaptation to mobile uses, having a thermal expansion property matching that of other drive component parts and eliminating defects caused by solving out of alkali. There is also provided an information storage disk drive devic…
