Abstract
An annular recess is formed in a base which constitutes a disk chamber, and an armature constituting a spindle motor for driving a hard disk and composed of a stator core and a stator coil and a field device composed of a rotor yoke and a rotor magnet are substantially accommodated in the annular recess. As a result, the height of a portion of a hard disk apparatus which constitutes a radial directional gap type spindle motor can be minimized and therefore the overall height of the apparatus can be minimized. Hence, the thickness and the size of a computer apparatus or the like which includes the hard disk apparatus can be reduced.
