Abstract:
A disk drive assembly including a spindle motor including a hub and a central axis, at least one disk disk having a central opening positioned on the hub and concentric about the central axis, an annular ring member concentric about the central axis, wherein a first portion of the annular ring member is in contact with an outer surface of a top disk of the disk stack, and a disk clamp ring screw adjacent to and in contact with a second portion of the annular ring member, wherein the disk clamp ring screw provides a clamping force to at least partially compress the annular ring member toward the top disk of the disk stack.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of securing a disk within a disk drive assembly, comprising the steps of:\n providing a spindle motor comprising a hub and a central axis; loading at least one disk on the hub; placing an annular ring member over the hub so that a first portion of the ring member is in contact with an outer surface of a top disk of the at least one disk and so that an engagement portion of the hub extends above the outer surface of the top disk; engaging a disk clamp ring screw with the engagement portion of the hub, wherein a lower surface of the disk clamp ring screw is adjacent to and in contact with a second portion of the annular ring member; and compressing the second portion of the annular ring member toward the first portion of the annular ring member and toward the top disk of the disk stack by applying an axially directed force to the annular ring member with the lower surface of the disk clamp ring screw.
