ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for rotatably journaling a rotor of a spindle motor about a stator comprising a plurality of magnetic bearings for use in a disc drive including an annular ring single-pole magnet which is integral with the spindle permanent magnet of a spindle motor rotor assembly and disposed in opposition to a complementary annular magnet ring attached to the stator assembly of the spindle motor. These magnetic bearings in conjunction with an axial pivot form a radially stable bearing system for maintaining rotor displacement about the stator in conjunction with a conventional axial pivot. The present invention provides for the unique combination of magnetic bearings with other conventional pivots for use in disc drive systems.
