The axial magnetic force, induced by the complicated flux linkage distribut
ion from rotor magnet and stator slotted, is constructed by different relat
ive heights and calculated by 3D finite element method (FEM) to analyze the
dynamic characteristics for a DVD spindle motor. The axial magnetic force
is designed to provide an axial stiffness and govern the natural frequency
of the dynamic performance. According to the simulation results and experim
ental measurements, the dynamic behaviors are significantly improved with a
variation of relative height of rotor magnet and stator slotted on a DVD s
pindle motor.
