る。2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, floppy disk devices have become thinner. The most important issue in reducing the thickness of a floppy disk device is reducing the thickness of the spindle motor for rotating the floppy disk. There are several types of spindle motors, but a plane-opposed brushless motor is often used. An example of a plane-opposed brushless motor used in the above-mentioned conventional floppy disk device will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 21 denotes a permanent magnet, which is magnetized in multiple poles and attached to the rotor yoke 12. Both the stator coil 13 and the Hall element 14 are attached to the stator yoke 15.

ンドルモータの薄型化に限界があった。The Hall element 14 is attached to the stator yoke 15 in order to detect the electrical positional relationship between the permanent magnet 21 attached to the rotor yoke 12 and the stator coil 13. While detecting the magnetic pole of the permanent magnet 21, the hall element 14 allows an appropriate drive current to flow through the stator coil 13 to efficiently generate torque in the motor for rotation. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the plane-opposed brushless motor shown in FIG. In order to realize the thinning, it is necessary to make the height of the stator coil 13 as low as possible, but as shown in FIG. 3, there is a limit to the thinning of the motor due to the restriction of the height of the Hall element 14. For example, stator yoke 1
5 has a thickness of 0.6 [mm], and the Hall element 14 has a thickness of 0.6
[Mm], the rotor yoke 12 has a thickness of 0.6 [mm], the permanent magnet 21 has a thickness of 0.8 [mm], and the gap between the stator and the rotor is 0.1 [mm]. It becomes 2.7 [mm]. Of these constituent elements, the stator yoke 15 and the rotor yoke 12 are difficult to be thin due to mechanical strength. The permanent magnet 21 used in a thin floppy disk device is often a rare earth magnet Nd-Fe-B, but the Nd-Fe-B magnet is due to mechanical stress generated during surface machining. The magnetic force is deteriorated by the surface plating applied to prevent the physical damage of the magnet surface and rust prevention, and the torque generation efficiency is reduced.
One cannot be thin. Due to the above problems, there has been a limit to the reduction in thickness of the spindle motor.
