Optimum Design of Thrust Air Bearing for Hard Disk Drive Spindle Motor

This paper describes the application of geometry optimization method proposed by Hashimoto to the design of air lubricated thrust bearings used for HDD spindle motors. The optimization is carried out to maximize the dynamic stiffness of air films because the low stiffness is a serious problem of thr...
