ABSTRACT:
A device to press a rotatably supported shaft of a rotor of a spindle motor for a hard disk drive into a shaft receiving portion of an associated stator housing by means of a first pressing tool acting on the rotor and a second pressing tool acting on the stator housing. A first aligning apparatus for the rotor and a second aligning apparatus for the stator housing are provided. The first and second aligning apparatuses are formed in such a way that they guide the rotor by means of a rotor carrier and the stator housing by means of a stator carrier. The rotor carrier and the stator carrier are exactly aligned with respect to each other during the pressfitting process. The first pressing tool has a first pressing element acting on the shaft of the rotor that is independent of the first aligning apparatus and the second pressing tool has a second pressing element acting on the stator housing that is independent of the second aligning apparatus. The first and second pressing elements abut against the shaft or the stator housing respectively, at the latest at the start of the pressfitting process.
