To prevent air from being trapped inside a bearing and causing the bearing to have oil film rupture and NRRO to deteriorate. In a hydrodynamic bearing, a first lubricant reservoir is provided in a gap between a lower surface of a hub and a sleeve, and a second lubricant reservoir is provided in a gap between an outer peripheral surface of the sleeve and an inner peripheral surface of the hub or an inner peripheral surface of a stopper member fixed to the hub. If air enters inside such a hydrodynamic bearing, the air has to be discharged. For this purpose, the relationship in widths of the radial bearing gap, the maximum gap of the first lubricant reservoir under the lower surface of the hub and the maximum gap of the second lubricant reservoir on the sleeve outer peripheral surface, or the relationship in magnitudes of capillary forces thereof is adjusted. The principle that air tends to move toward the portion having smaller capillary pressure is utilized to make it difficult for the air to be trapped inside the bearing and to smoothly discharge the air from a gas-liquid interface of the second lubricant reservoir.

In a hydrodynamic bearing type rotary device, relationships between the number of times of intermittence life, a bearing load, lubricating fluid viscosity, a bearing size, and the like are considered in order to provide a hydrodynamic bearing type rotary device which can secure appropriate intermittence life. In a hydrodynamic bearing type rotary device 15, a shaft is inserted into a bearing hole 1C of a sleeve 1 so as to be relatively rotatable. A value of a function (Nd) represented by the following relational expression (1) is set to be 100,000 or higher: Nd=η/(S·Ff·P·D) (1) S: Material wear rate S=74800 (constant) η: Absolute viscosity at 70° C. [N·S/mˆ2] (when the lubricating fluid is a liquid) I: Viscosity corresponding constant I=0.00001 (when the lubricating fluid is a gas) P: Load applied to one bearing [N]D: Shaft diameter [m], the floating rotation corresponding function, Ff, is defined as follows: Ff=P/(Fs×ω) (2) ω: Constant angular velocity of the rotary device [rad/S] (=2·π·f/60), and the stiffness corresponding function, Fs, is defined as follows: Fs=(η·ω·Dˆ2·Lˆ2)/Cˆ3[N/m] (3) L: Length of bearing [m]C: Bearing gap [m].

Provided is an apparatus for heat treatment capable of heat-treating toner particles efficiently and uniformly while suppressing increase of coarse particles due to coalescence, to thereby enable stable toner production. The apparatus for heat-treating powder particles each of which contains a binder resin and a colorant includes: a cylindrical treatment chamber in which the powder particles are heat-treated; a columnar member (6) provided so as to protrude from a lower end part of the treatment chamber toward an upper end part thereof; a powder particle supply unit (2) for supplying the powder particles to the treatment chamber; a hot air supply unit (3) for heat-treating the supplied powder particles; and a collection unit (5) for collecting the heat-treated powder particles discharged outside the treatment chamber through a toner discharge port provided on the lower end part side of the treatment chamber. The hot air supply unit is provided so that the hot air is supplied along an inner circumferential surface of the treatment chamber. The powder particle supply unit includes multiple particle supply ports provided on an outer circumferential surface of the columnar member. The toner discharge port is provided in an outer circumferential portion of the treatment chamber so as to keep a rotation direction of the powder particles.
