  • another modification of the present invention is an annular spacer provided in the hard disk drive device so that the main surface is in contact with the magnetic disk.
  • the main surface on at least one side of the spacer is such that the thickness of the spacer decreases in a part of the main surface toward the corner portion between the main surface and the outer peripheral surface of the spacer. It is an inclined surface that is inclined to.
  • the amount of drop in the outer peripheral area of the main surface of the spacer D and the amount of change in the flatness (warp amount) of the magnetic disk (fixed at the top) before and after the clamp I investigated the relationship with. Specifically, first, the top magnetic disk and the spacer immediately below it were removed from the spindle of the HDD, and the flatness of the removed magnetic disk was measured. Next, an arbitrary spacer whose drop allowance D has been measured is attached to the spindle with the side where the drop allowance is measured facing up, and then a magnetic disk whose flatness has been measured in advance is attached to the spindle, and finally by a clamp member.
  • Tightening was performed, and the flatness of the upper surface of the magnetic disk was measured in that state. Items that interfere with the measurement (lamp members, etc.) were removed from the HDD in advance. The flatness (warp amount) of the magnetic disk was measured as the maximum height difference on the surface of the magnetic disk using Optiflat manufactured by Phase Shift Technology.
  • the specifications of the spacer and magnetic disk are as follows: Spacer: Made of amorphous glass (Young's modulus: 72 GPa), outer peripheral surface diameter 32 mm, inner peripheral surface diameter 25 mm, plate thickness 1.8 mm, chamfered surface has a radial length of 250 ⁇ m on both the inner and outer peripheral sides, inside and outside. The angle with respect to the peripheral surface was set to 45 degrees. The width L of the main surface is 3.0 mm. By adjusting various spacer manufacturing conditions, spacers having various sizes of drop allowance D on the inclined surface were manufactured.
  • ⁇ Drop allowance D> Four data were acquired every 90 degrees for one main surface of one spacer, and the average value was calculated.
  • the sign of the drop allowance D is determined as follows: When the main surface profile is inclined (that is, a descending shape) toward the other main surface side toward the outer peripheral surface side (that is, in the case of the spacer of the present invention), it becomes positive, and conversely, it becomes higher toward the outer peripheral surface side and the outer circumference.
  • the case where the edge part is the highest is regarded as minus.
  • the flatness of the magnetic disk is basically larger after clamping than before clamping, but the opposite is also true, so the amount of change in flatness is shown as an absolute value. It can be used if the amount of change in the flatness is 4 ⁇ m or less, preferably 3 ⁇ m or less, and more preferably 2.5 ⁇ m or less.
  • the amount of change in flatness was reduced to 4 ⁇ m or less by setting the drop allowance D to more than 0 (plus). Further, it was found that the flatness change amount was set to 3 ⁇ m or less by setting the drop allowance D to 0.1 to 2.0 ⁇ m. Further, it was found that the flatness change amount was set to 2.5 ⁇ m or less by setting the drop allowance D to 0.1 to 1.5 ⁇ m.
