    Abstract: A spindle motor includes a base, a shaft arranged on the base and extending in a vertical direction, a stator having a coil defined by a wound conductive wire and arranged on an upper surface of the base, and a rotor rotatably supported around the shaft. The base has a through hole that penetrates the base from the upper surface to a lower surface. The conductive wire is drawn out to the lower surface side through the inside of the through hole. The through hole is sealed by a sealing material. The through hole includes a columnar lower column body and a columnar upper column body. The lower column body is arranged on the lower surface side of the base. A cross-sectional area of the upper column body orthogonal to an axial direction is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the lower column body orthogonal to the axial direction.

    Abstract: A rotary drive apparatus that rotates while reflecting light emitted from a light source includes a motor, a flywheel supported by a rotating portion of the motor, and a plate-shaped mirror. The mirror is fixed to the flywheel with adhesives located at corner portions of the mirror and spaced apart from one another along end sides of the mirror. Thus, the mirror is fixed to the flywheel with the adhesives, and distortion of the mirror due to curing of the adhesives is reduced or prevented.

    Abstract: A rotary drive apparatus rotates a flywheel that holds a mirror and a lens, and includes a motor and the flywheel. The flywheel is rotatable about a central axis extending in a vertical direction through the motor. The flywheel includes an accommodating portion in which the lens is located. The lens includes a base portion including a light-transmitting portion that allows reflected light to pass therethrough, a first contact portion contactable with the accommodating portion on one of upstream and downstream sides of the base portion with respect to the direction of travel of the reflected light, and a second contact portion contactable with the accommodating portion on another one of the upstream and downstream sides of the base portion with respect to the direction of travel of the reflected light. At least one of the first and second contact portions is a projection that projects from the base portion.

    Abstract: A fluid bearing apparatus includes a stationary member and a rotating member. A bearing surface of the stationary member and a bearing surface of the rotating member are arranged opposite to each other with a minute gap intervening therebetween. A lubricating fluid is arranged in the minute gap. At least one of the bearing surfaces includes a dynamic pressure groove, and a plurality of striations defined in a bottom portion of the dynamic pressure groove. Each of the dynamic pressure groove and the striations is arranged to extend in a direction at an angle greater than 0° to a circumferential direction. An angle defined between each striation and the circumferential direction is equal to or smaller than an angle defined between the dynamic pressure groove and the circumferential direction. Thus, an improvement in a force of dynamic pressure at the dynamic pressure groove is achieved.
