ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a disk drive motor comprising a rotary member having an annular space formed therein coaxially with the axis of rotation, and ring-shaped balancing members accommodated in the annular space and capable of changing its mass distribution circumferentially along the circle of the annular space. In case of any imbalanced rotation occurring during the rotation, the balancing members temporarily gather at a portion of the annular space where the mass imbalance is taking place. When the motor speed exceeds the value at which resonance takes place due to coincidence between the frequency of the vibration of each of the balancing member and the natural frequency of the motor, the balancing members move to a position symmetrical with the point of mass imbalance to eliminate the mass imbalance, thereby reducing motor run-out.
