Abstract
Part gap spacers that are disposed between parts in a fluid dynamic bearing motor or hard disk assembly are provided herein. Part gap spacers are designed to off-set adjacent parts such that part-to-part spacing has less variation in tolerance accumulation. Part gap spacers also allow for greater control of bond line thickness of adhesives, and control of gap distances for bearing fluids, and allows for electrical conductivity across bonded parts.
