Provided are a disk spacer for an information storage device and a spindle
motor assembly employing the disk spacer. The spindle motor assembly
includes a spindle motor, one or more data storage disks mounted around
the spindle motor, a disk clamp coupled to the spindle motor and fixing
the disk clamp, and a disk spacer mounted around the spindle motor and
supporting the disk, wherein the disk spacer has a groove of a
predetermined depth formed along an outer peripheral surface thereof,
which does not contact the disks, and the groove is tapered as it is
closer to an inner peripheral surface of the disk spacer away from the
outer peripheral surface of the disk spacer. Since impacts and vibrations
delivered to the disks are scattered by the disk spacer, the wobble of
the disk due to the impacts and vibrations is reduced.
