Abstract
A rotary driving apparatus controls the generation of vibration and noise due to high speed rotation, to realize high accuracy rotation, so that a storage apparatus such as a disk drive can have high speed rotation and improved storing density on its recording medium. The apparatus includes a fixed shaft for rotatably supporting a rotor, a bearing fitted between the shaft and the rotor, at least two projections projecting from the surface of the shaft, and a stator coil mounted on the projections. The projections absorb stator vibration, and isolate the head, the storage disk and other parts from the stator vibrations. A gap area is formed between the stator coil and the shaft to dampen vibrations created by the stator. The gap may be filled with vibration-absorbing material.
