The Motor

72.jpg

The motor has an outside rotor; the stator windings are copper-colored. The spindle bearing is in the middle. To the left of center is the actuator by means of a read-write head beneath the tip of its very end and close to center; the orange stripe next to the side of the arm, a threadlike printed-circuit cable, attaches the read-write head to the core of the actuator. The elastic, to some extent ‘U’-shaped, ribbon cable just about visible below and to the left of the actuator arm is the elastic section, one last part on the hub, that continues the link from the head to the controller board on the reverse side.
