A disk driving spindle motor wherein a hub portion having a flange portion on which a disk is to be clamped is supported for rotation relative to a housing body and a rotor frame is attached to the flange portion, the hub portion being driven for rotation by magnetic repulsive action produced between the housing body and the rotor frame. A clearance extending from the outer to the inner periphery of the flange portion is formed between the abutment surfaces of the flange portion and the rotor frame. This structure results in decreased warping of a disk attached to a disk support surface.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION what is claimed is: 1.
A disk driving spindle motor wherein a hub portion having a flange portion on which a disk is to be clamped is supported for rotation relative to a housing body and a rotor frame is attached to said flange portion, said hub portion being driven for rotation by magnetic repulsive action produced between said housing body and said rotor frame, said disk driving spindle motor, comprising: a clearance extending from the outer toward the inner periphery of said flange portion formed directly between the abutment surfaces of said flange portion and said rotor frame to prevent the outer periphery of said flange portion and said rotor frame from abutting each other, the abutment surface of said flange portion constituting a counter disk support surface opposed from a disk support surface of said flange portion; and an annular groove having a depth at least as deep as a thickness of said rotor frame, said annular groove being formed radially inwardly from said clearance and being formed in a downward projecting portion of said flange portion for clamping an inner periphery of said rotor frame to said flange portion, wherein said flange portion is comprised of a material different from that of said rotor frame and whereby warping of any disk attached to said flange portion is reduced.
2.
A disk driving spindle motor as set forth in claim 1, wherein the area of said abutment surface of said flange portion within said clearance is 1/4 or more of the disk support surface area of said flange portion.
3.
A disk driving spindle motor as set forth in claim 1, wherein the inner periphery of the disk support surface of said flange portion comprises a first relief to prevent the inner periphery of the disk from abutting said inner periphery of said flange portion.
4.
A disk driving spindle motor as set forth in claim 3, wherein a is the outer diameter of a sleeve portion of the hub portion, b is the outer diameter of the flange portion of the hub portion, c is the disk contact inner diameter of the disk support surface of the blange portion, and d is the disk contact outer peripheral diameter of the disk support surface of the blange portion, and a, b, c and d satisfy the following relationship: (a+b)/2<(c+d)/2
