A sleeve supports a shaft. A housing member is arranged so as to surround the sleeve and make the end of the sleeve protrude. A base member holds the housing member and fixes a stator core so as to surround the housing member. A hub drives a recording disk by being rotated integrally with the shaft, with a magnet being fixed to an annular portion concentric with the shaft so as to face the stator core fixed to the base member. A thrust member is rotated integrally with the hub, and a descender portion and a ring portion.

Provided is a fluid bearing device with a hub part having high molding precision and dimensional stability and capable of being produced at low cost. An annular gate (14) is formed at a portion of a cavity (15) corresponding to an outer peripheral edge portion of a lower end surface (10c1) of a flange part (10c), and a molten resin (P) is filled into the cavity (15) through the annular gate (14) to form a hub part (10) made of resin. The hub part (10) molded by the injection molding exhibits a radial resin orientation through an entire periphery thereof. Further, an annular gate trace (16) is formed at the outer peripheral edge portion of the lower end surface (10c1) of the flange part (10c) of the hub part (10).

A bearing mechanism includes a cylindrical bottom-closed sleeve unit; a shaft unit radially supported by the sleeve unit via a lubricant; and an elastic thrust plate on an inner bottom surface of the sleeve unit to contact an end portion of the shaft unit at a position on a central axis to rotatably support the shaft unit. The shaft unit has a first contact portion, and the sleeve unit has a second contact portion. The contact portions are so arranged that, when a force acting from above the inner bottom surface is applied, movement of the shaft unit is restrained by the contact portions making contact with each other. Further, a distance between the contact portions prior to the force being applied is smaller than the displacement of the shaft unit at which the thrust plate gets so pressed by the shaft unit to be permanently deformed.

A sleeve and a sleeve housing are bonded to each other with adhesive. A thrust dynamic pressure bearing portion is configured between a thrust plate attached to a distal end of a shaft and the lower end surface of the sleeve. An annular step portion having a smaller diameter is provided at the lower side of the sleeve housing, and the annular step portion meets the sleeve. An annular raised portion is provided between thrust dynamic pressure grooves on the lower end surface of the sleeve and the annular step portion. In this configuration, the surplus adhesive leaked from between the sleeve and the annular step portion can be blocked by the annular raised portion, thereby preventing the adhesive from flowing into the thrust dynamic pressure bearing portion.

A spindle motor can suppress the generation of noise during swinging and the extend service life, and also suppress the increase in current consumption. The outside diameter Do of a thrust hydrodynamic groove 3 is at least 10% of the outside diameter Dd of a disk-shaped medium 20, and the depth of the radial hydrodynamic groove is greater than the depth of the thrust hydrodynamic groove. By adjusting to specific numbers, the angular stiffness in the thrust bearing is raised, and even if a disturbance torque should be applied, wear or noise caused by metal contact inside the bearing can be suppressed.

A shaft, a circular plate portion and a cylindrical portion are integrally formed with one another through cutting operations to provide a rotor hub of a motor. An inner region on the lower surface of the circular plate portion is formed continuously with the outer peripheral surface of the shaft, and a hub thrust portion is provided in the inner portion so as to axially face a sleeve thrust portion on a sleeve main body. A stepped portion on the lower surface of the circular plate portion is disposed on the outer side of thrust dynamic pressure grooves on the sleeve thrust portion. In this manner, the stepped portion is disposed in a region where a thrust bearing portion is not provided, so that the hub thrust portion can be formed at a low cost in manufacturing the rotor hub by cutting.

One or more of constructional members of a hydrodynamic bearing assembly are nickel-plated, and the members to be welded and fixed are arranged to abut on one another. The nickel plating is performed so as to form a plated layer of less than 10 μm in thickness between the members to be welded and fixed. An energy beam is applied at the joining portion of the members to be welded and fixed, to weld and fix these members.

A fluid dynamic bearing mechanism for a motor (1) suitable for use in a hard disk drive and having a compact and thin shape, high bearing rigidity, and high rotating accuracy, and which securely keeps the rotor member (6) in place against shocks, and allows the inspection of lubricant supply amount easily. A fluid dynamic bearing mechanism having a capillary seal part (12) on one end of lubricant supply part formed by a minute gap including dynamic pressure grooves (10) formed on a shaft member (5) or a bearing member (4) is provided. An annular member (13) is fitted on the shaft member at the location corresponding to the capillary seal part, another annular member (14) is fitted on the bearing member at the location corresponding to the capillary seal part, a taper or step (13a, 14a) is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the annular member on the shaft member side and the inner peripheral surface of the annular member on the bearing member side. These inner and outer peripheral surfaces are arranged to be close to and facing with each other so that the rotor member is prevented from disengaging from the bearing member, and the capillary seal part can be formed at the same time. An axial dynamic pressure bearing unit (1) is formed between the annular member on the shaft member side and one end of the bearing member.
