Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to develop a low vibration micromotor applied in a miniature optical drive. To minimize the micromotor vibration, passive magnetic suspension technology has been used. The magnetic forces between the permanent magnets are estimated using the finite element method; the stable zone of operation of the motor developed was determined. A new micromotor with 62% of the radial vibration of the conventional micro-ball-bearing motor has been successfully developed. In addition, the new motor demonstrates lower friction torque loss.
