An HDD has a carriage which moves a head with respect to a medium, and a
voice coil motor (VCM) which drives the carriage. The VCM has a magnet,
between which and a first shell formed of a magnetic substance a magnetic
circuit is formed, and a voice coil which is secured to the carriage and
disposed in a magnetic gap. A depression which receives a projecting
portion covering a lead of the voice coil is formed in the first shell,
and thereby a projection projecting toward the coil is consequently
formed. This structure partially narrows the magnetic gap and allows
generation of a torque with sufficient intensity.
