Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a rotor magnet that is capable of adjusting attraction of magnet that is mounted in a spindle motor, a spindle motor including the same, a recording and reproducing apparatus, and a jig for manufacturing the same, with a simple configuration. A rotor magnet is an approximately annular member that is attached to a rotor hub rotating around a shaft forming a part of a spindle motor. The rotor magnet is magnetized such that magnetization properties of axially top and bottom surfaces of the rotor magnet are different from each other.
