Abstract:
A spindle motor is provided, the motor comprising: a base plate, a PCB on the base plate, a bearing assembly arranged on the base plate, a stator coupled to a periphery of the bearing assembly, a rotor rotationally coupled to the bearing assembly, the rotor including a yoke and a magnet, and a rotation shaft rotationally coupled to the bearing assembly. The base plate includes a planar portion and a protruding portion arranged along with a periphery of the yoke, the protruding portion being apart from the yoke. The base plate is partially covered with the PCB in a region where the stator is arranged. And, a height from the planar portion to an upper surface of the protruding portion is smaller than a height from the planar portion to a lower surface of the periphery of the yoke.

Claim (Index 1):
A spindle motor, comprising:\n a base plate; a printed circuit board (PCB) on the base plate; a bearing assembly arranged on the base plate; a stator coupled to a periphery of the bearing assembly and comprising a core; a rotor rotationally coupled to the bearing assembly, the rotor including a yoke and a magnet; and a rotation shaft rotationally coupled to the bearing assembly; wherein the yoke comprises an upper plate and a lateral plate, wherein the base plate comprises an exposed planar portion and a protruding portion adjacent to and monolithically formed with the exposed planar portion, the protruding portion being formed along an outer peripheral edge of the base plate and disposed below a portion of the lateral plate of the yoke, wherein the protruding portion is spaced apart from a lower surface of the portion of the lateral plate of the yoke, and wherein the PCB is disposed between the base plate and the core and is arranged on the base plate such that the exposed planar portion of the base plate is not covered by the PCB.
