A hydrodynamic bearing device with high reliability, with which reductions in size, weight, and thickness can be achieved, as well as a motor and a disk driving apparatus that make use of this hydrodynamic bearing device. The hydrodynamic bearing device comprises a shaft, a thrust flange, a sleeve, a seal plate, and a retaining plate. A radial dynamic pressure bearing is formed in the radial direction gap between the shaft and the sleeve, and a thrust dynamic pressure bearing is formed in the thrust dynamic bearing gap between the sleeve and the thrust flange. A communicating hole is formed for communicating between the gap between the sleeve and the seal plate and the thrust direction gap between the sleeve and the thrust flange. The radial dynamic pressure bearing and/or the thrust dynamic pressure bearing are formed such that a lubricating oil circulates in the gap between the sleeve and the seal plate from the inner peripheral side of the sleeve toward the outer peripheral side.

With a hydrodynamic bearing device 10, a first gap G1 is formed between a shaft 12 and a sleeve 11. A second gap G2 is formed between a sleeve cap 16 and the sleeve 11, and holds a lubricant 17. A thrust bearing member 21 is disposed near the inner peripheral surface of a center hole 16a of the sleeve cap 16. A third gap G3 is formed between the thrust bearing member 21 and the sleeve cap 16, and is open to the atmosphere. A fourth gap G4 is formed between the thrust bearing member 21 and the sleeve 11. The lubricant 17 circulates along a circulation passage that includes a communicating path 11b, the first gap G1 and the second gap G2.

A set of radial dynamic pressure generating grooves constitute a radial bearing, and an entire width (L) of the radial dynamic pressure generating groove is reduced. A set of thrust dynamic pressure generating grooves constituting a thrust bearing are formed so that an area where a maximal thrust dynamic pressure is generated (diameter) is increased, and a bearing angle stiffness of the thrust bearing is increased. The thrust bearing having the high bearing angle stiffness shares a moment load applied to a shaft to thereby compensate for a bearing angle stiffness of the radial bearing whose bearing stiffness is small because an entire width of the radial bearing is small. Thus, a thin-shaped hydrodynamic bearing capable of withstanding a large moment load is obtained.

Fluid bearing equipment which is free from lockup or seizure which may occur due to a deficiency of a lubricating fluid when the equipment is operated at a high rotation speed in a high temperature environment. The fluid bearing equipment is arranged such that maximum pressure generating portions 23 of dynamic pressure generating grooves 15, 16 provided in a thrust-side dynamic pressure generating portion are located closer to the outer circumference of a stationary thrust plate 9 than a radially middle position of the thrust-side dynamic pressure generating portion. With this arrangement, the lockup and seizure of a motor can be prevented which may otherwise occur due to a deficiency of the lubricating fluid when the equipment is operated at a high rotation speed in a high temperature environment.
