  • Abstract
    Hard disk production needs accurate and fast measurement technology to qualify the spindle system produced. This paper presents several new technologies to measure the runout of spindle motor used in hard disk drives. The limitations of these technologies in the precise measurement are analyzed in the paper. The testing results show that, the technology utilizing optical interference is a good approach to realize 1 nano meter accuracy with high measuring speed. The experimental studies on different type micro motor are also presented.
