． R&D Center 7 HDD Major Technology. 2. ! CHANNEL INTEGRATION － R/W CHANNEL － CODING － SERVO ! MECHANICAL INTEGRATION － HEAD/DISK TECHNOLOGY － OTP/TMR ! CHEMICAL INTEGRATION － RELIABBILITY － CLEAN TECHNOLOGY Spindle Motor/Pivot Assembly March 23, 2001 NMB

． R&D Center 7 ． Sustaining The HDD Technology Innovation (Spindle Motor and Pivot Assembly). 3 SPINDLE MOTOR PIVOT ! Higher Rotation (Bearing) ! Shorter Access Time Steel Ball, Grease Development Low Hystersis Ceramic Ball Thermal Expansion Matching ! Low Noise ! Low Friction Torque Grease → Oil Bearing Cleanliness Improvement ! Low NRRO(Lower Than 0.3 μ m ） ! Outgassing Improvement RO Bearing rather than Sulfur Contained Free-Machining Conventional (Discrete) Bearing Steel Improvement ! Low Friction Torque And high Anti-Fretting Low Outgassing Adhesive Grease Development Less Outgassing Grease ! Less Outgassing Development ! Light Weight Polymers Stainless Steel → Nonferrous Metals Sulfur Contained Free-Machining Steel Improvement March 23, 2001 NMB
