Abstract:
A spindle motor for two and one-half inch disks and three and one-half inch disks has a disk mounting surface with a horizontal tolerance of less than 30 micro inch to prevent warpage of a disk mounted thereon by pressure engagement. The disk mounting surface is machined to the requisite tolerance by mounting an assembled motor on a support surface of a rigid granite block table and spinning the rotor of the motor by an external drive. A cutting tool then machines the disk mounting surface.
