Abstract:
A disk apparatus comprising a motor for rotating a disk and a head for recording and reproducing data on and from said disk wherein said motor is mounted on said disk apparatus through a plurality of elastic damping members arranged on or near an imaginary straight line joining a rotating center of said motor with an objective lens of said head, wherein at least one of said plurality of elastic damping members is arranged on or near the imaginary straight line joining the rotating center of said motor with the objective lens of said head and is disposed between the rotary center of said motor and the objective lens of said head, wherein said plurality of elastic damping members are mounted with respect to a stator section of said motor so as to substantially isolate the objective lens of said head from forces applied to said motor, and wherein said plurality of elastic damping members are arranged within an angle of .+-.45.degree. from the imaginary straight line joining the rotating center of said motor with the objective lens with an apex of the angle at the rotating center and measured from the imaginary straight line at the rotating center in directions toward the objective lens and away from the objective lens.
