摘要:
A low-cost shaft member for hydrodynamic bearing apparatuses restores the pressure balance in a thrust bearing gap formed on both axial sides of the flange portion in an early stage. A shaft material integrally having a shaft portion and a flange portion with a through-hole between both end faces of the flange portion is formed in a common forging step. As a result, the through-hole is formed to open to an inner diameter side of the bearing gaps avoiding the thrust bearing gaps formed on both end faces of the flange portion of the shaft member as a finished product.

A hydrodynamic type oil-impregnated sintered bearing includes a porous bearing body of sintered metal having a bearing surface in which hydrodynamic pressure generating grooves slating against an axial direction are provided. Lubricating oil or the base oil of lubricating grease to be impregnated into the bearing body is selected from among (a) mixtures of poly-α-olefin or hydrogenated compound thereof and ester and (b) ester. The ester is preferably polyol ester. In the cases of the lubricating grease, the thickener of the lubricating grease is preferably composed of urea compound. A plurality of bearing surfaces may be formed on the inner periphery of the bearing body so as to be separated from one another. The hydrodynamic type oil-impregnated sintered bearing may be suitably applied to a spindle motor for information equipment.

The squareness of the end surface of the bearing member with respect to the inner circumference of the bearing member is set to 0.002 mm or less, and the flatness thereof is set to 0.0015 mm or less. The flatness of the inner surface of the bottom portion of the housing is set to 0.002 mm or less.

Two bearing bodies 1 each having a bearing surface 17 are force-fitted into a housing 7 which is opened at one end and closed at the other end thereof, and a shaft 2 (rotary shaft) is inserted in the bearing bodies 1, thereby forming two axially spaced porous oil-impregnated bearings A. The inner peripheral surfaces of the bearing bodies 1 and the oil leak preventing member 11 are formed with a plurality of inclined grooves (hydrodynamic-pressure-generating grooves 5 and air current producing grooves 12). A solid lubricating composition 3 composed of synthetic resin as a base material and oil as a lubricating component by blending lubricating oil or lubricating greases is disposed between the two bearing bodies 1.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a bearing member having a highly accurate dynamic pressure generating portion stably at low cost. Dynamic pressure grooves (8a1) and (8a2) are formed as the dynamic pressure generating portions on an inner circumferential surface of the electroforming portion (10) by an electroforming process, and injection molding is performed by using a resin while inserting the electroforming portion (10), thereby forming a bearing member (8). A shaft member (2) is inserted into an inner circumference of the bearing member.

The porous oil-impregnated bearing 1 comprises a bearing body 1a made of a porous material, and oil retained in the pores of the bearing body 1a by impregnation with lubricating oil or lubricating grease. The inner peripheral surface of the bearing body 1a is formed with a bearing surface 1b opposed to an outer peripheral surface of a shaft to be supported, with a bearing clearance defined therebetween. The bearing surface 1b has a first region m1 in which a plurality of hydrodynamic pressure generating grooves 1c inclined in one direction with respect to the axial direction are circumferentially disposed, a second region m2 which is axially spaced from said first region m1 and in which a plurality of hydrodynamic pressure generating grooves 1c inclined in the other direction with respect to the axial direction are circumferentially disposed, and an annular smooth region n disposed between the first and second regions m1 and m2.

There is provided a sintered oil retaining bearing that secures the stability of an oil film and achieves high running accuracy through management to exclude a variation in the size of surface openings in the bearing surface, particularly the presence of large holes, while making use of such advantages as the mass productivity, low noise and low cost features of sintered oil retaining bearings. In a sintered oil retaining bearing 11 having a bearing body 19 that is composed of a porous body formed of a sintered metal, that is formed with a bearing surface 18 opposed to the outer peripheral surface of a rotary shaft 1 through a bearing clearance and that is impregnated with lubricating oil or lubricating grease, it is arranged that surface openings in said bearing surface 18 are substantially uniform in size and that when the area of a single such surface opening is converted into the area of a circle, the diameter of such circle does not exceed 0.05 mm.
