Patent attributes
Provided is a spindle motor on which an optical disc is put, rotated and operated. The spindle motor includes a rotor, a stator, a stop washer, and a cap. The cap is put on a thrust supporter that supports a rotation shaft of the rotor, and the cap is pressed into a bearing housing and is closely attached to the bearing housing so that the cap can be easily, closely attached to the bearing housing and due to a press fit force, the cap can be coupled to the bearing housing without formation of a gap between the bearing and the bearing housing and leakage of oil can be prevented, and a press fit force of the bearing and a press fit force of the cap itself act on the cap so that the cap can be prevented from upward separation from the bearing housing.
