A disc drive spindle motor includes a central axis, a stationary member, a rotatable member which is rotatable with respect to the stationary member and a bearing interconnecting the rotatable member with the stationary member. A data storage disc is attached to the rotatable member. A stator is supported by the stationary member at an interface for rotating the rotatable member about the central axis with a driving force frequency. The stator has a resonant vibrational frequency. The interface has a plurality of recesses which are spaced axially from one another with respect to the central axis. An adhesive is applied within a selected set of the plurality of recesses and forms a bond between the stator and the stationary member. The set of recesses is selected such that the resonant vibrational frequency is different than the driving force frequency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION One aspect of the present invention relates to a method of mounting a stator, which has a resonant vibrational frequency, to a stationary member in a disc drive spindle motor.
The method includes: providing a plurality of recesses in an interface between the stator and the stationary member; selecting a set of the plurality of recesses as a function of the resonant vibrational frequency; and placing an adhesive in the selected set of recesses to form a bond between the stator and the stationary member.
Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of mounting the stator to the stationary member, which includes bonding the stator to the stationary member with a selected bond geometry such that the stator and the stationary member have a selected vibrational resonant frequency.
Another aspect of the present invention relates to a disc drive spindle motor.
The spindle motor includes a central axis, a stationary member, a rotatable member which is rotatable with respect to the e stationary member and a bearing interconnecting the rotatable member with the stationary member.
A data storage disc is attached to the rotatable member.
A stator is supported by the stationary member at an interface.
The stator rotates the rotatable member about the central axis with a driving force frequency and has a resonant vibrational frequency.
The interface has a plurality of recesses which are spaced axially from one another with respect to the central axis.
An adhesive is applied within a selected set of the plurality of recesses and forms a bond between the stator and the stationary member.
The set of recesses is selected such that the resonant vibrational frequency is different than the driving force frequency.
