A brushless motor of the present invention generally has a stator and a rotor in a clean chamber of contaminant free atmosphere. The stator has a motor base, a shaft provided on the motor base and a plurality of coils on the motor base. The rotor has a bearing holder having a center hole for supporting bearings, a hub connected to the bearing holder for mounting information storage discs such as hard discs and a magnet having magnetic poles provided on the hub facing to the coils. The brushless motor of the present invention further has a top cover provided on the bearing holder for covering the center hole thereof, a cylindrical chamber defined by an outer wall of the bearing holder and an inner wall of the hub in the rotor, the magnet is provided on the inner wall of the bearing holder, and a coreless coil assembly having the plurality of coils without cores made of magnet materials being provided on the motor base in such a manner that the coreless coil assembly protrudes into the cylindrical chamber so as to form narrow clearances between the walls of the cylindrical chamber and the coreless coil assembly for a labyrinth path in the clean chamber.
A brushless motor having a stator and a rotor in a clean chamber of contaminant-free atmosphere, the stator comprising a motor base, shaft means provided on the motor base and a plurality of coils mounted on the motor base, the rotor comprising a bearing holder having a center hole for supporting bearing means, a hub connected to the bearing holder for mounting information storage discs and a magnet having magnetic poles provided on an inner wall of the hub facing to the plurality of coils, the rotor including the hub being rotated around the shaft means through the bearing means by causing a magnetic field of the magnetic poles of the magnet to interact with a magnet field generated by the coils in the clean chamber, the brushless motor comprising:
A brushless motor as claimed in claimed 1, wherein the cylindrical flexible support comprises a plurality of flexible support layers by bending a flexible support on which the plurality of the coils without the core are provided.
