Disclosed is a centering device of a spindle motor. The centering device
includes a body portion which is disposed on the rotor of the spindle motor, and
which is provided with a central hole for accommodating the shaft of the spindle
motor; and a plurality of centering elastic finger units, located along the periphery
of the body portion. Each centering elastic finger unit includes at least two elastic
fingers. Each elastic finger includes a free end which extends from the body portion
in the circumferential direction of the rotor, and which has a contact portion
adapted to urge against an optical disk to guide the centering of the optical disk
with respect to the shaft of the spindle motor. Preferably, the contact portion
is formed into an arc surface so as to reduce the contact area and thus the friction
between the elastic fingers and the disk.
