A hydrodynamic bearing device which can enhance operating efficiency of a step of filling a lubricant and also effectively suppress leakage of the lubricant to an outer peripheral portion of the hydrodynamic bearing device; a spindle motor including the same; and an information recording and reproducing apparatus are providedA hydrodynamic bearing device includes a sleeve, a shaft, a lubricant, a plurality of lube repellent application areas, and a lube repellent non-application area. The sleeve has an insertion hole as a bearing hole on at least one end. The shaft is inserted into the insertion hole of the sleeve and is supported so as to be relatively rotatable with respect to the sleeve. The lubricant is interposed in a clearance between the sleeve and the shaft. The plurality of lube repellent application areas are formed into a circular pattern with the shaft being a substantial center on at positions outside the insertion hole of an open upper surface of the sleeve in a radial direction of the shaft. The lube repellent non-application area is formed between two of the lube repellent application areas which are adjacent to each other.

A hydrodynamic bearing device 30 comprises a sleeve 32 having a bearing hole 32d, a shaft 31, and a flange cover 33. The shaft 31 is disposed in the bearing hole 32d of the sleeve in a state of being capable of relative rotation, and has a large diameter flange portion 31b. The flange cover 33 is disposed opposite the bottom surface of the flange portion 31b. A bubble suppression portion 36, which is formed as a recess on the bottom surface of the shaft 31, communicates with the upper surface of the flange portion 31b through a communicating hole 31e in the flange portion 31b. This provides a hydrodynamic bearing device with which negative pressure is prevented from being generated in the bearing even when it is subjected to impact or vibration, and durability and reliability can be enhanced, as well as a spindle motor and a recording and reproducing apparatus equipped with this hydrodynamic bearing device.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a fluid dynamic bearing device and a bearing part for a thrust bearing, both of which are applied to a flat and thin bearing part and are capable of preventing abrasion and scratching even if two parts make contact with each other. A fluid dynamic bearing mechanism 40 includes a shaft 1 functioning as an axis of rotational, a sleeve, a flange 3, a thrust plate 4, and a thrust bearing portion 22. The sleeve is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the shaft. The flange is disposed in the vicinity of the end portion of the shaft, and includes a bottom surface 3c perpendicular to a central axis direction of the shaft. A thrust receiver includes a front surface 4a opposed to the bottom surface. The thrust bearing portion is formed between the bottom surface and the front surface, and includes a plurality of thrust dynamic generation grooves 3a formed on the bottom surface. Particulates with hardness higher than that of the top surface are diffused and disposed on the bottom surface, and are then implanted in the bottom surface by applying pressure such that a portion of the particulates extends therefrom.

The present invention relates to a dynamic pressure-type liquid bearing unit which can prevent lubricating oil from flowing outside by discharging air that is trapped in the bearing. A sleeve and a thrust plate that is attached to one end side of the sleeve sandwich a thrust bearing leaving a gap around the thrust bearing. Unsymmetrical herringbone-shaped dynamic pressure-generating grooves are formed on at least one of the outer circumferential surface of the stationary shaft and the inner circumferential surface of the sleeve. A first capillary sealing portion is formed between one end of the stationary shaft and the sleeve, and a second capillary sealing portion is formed between the other end of the stationary shaft and the thrust plate. Groove portions for removing air are formed between the first capillary sealing portion and the second capillary sealing portion.

A bearing component 7 comprises a sleeve 2 having a bearing hole 2a in which a shaft 1 is inserted, a communicating hole 6 formed in the sleeve 2, a lubricant 20 held in the gap between the shaft 1 and the sleeve 2, for example, an inner peripheral seal portion 12 that holds the lubricant 20 in the bearing component 7, and a flow suppressing wall 30 formed between the communicating hole 6 and the inner peripheral seal portion 12. The flow suppressing wall 30 impedes the flow of the lubricant 20 toward the inner peripheral seal portion 12, and disperses it in the circumferential direction.

A hydrodynamic bearing device includes a sleeve having a bearing hole, a shaft, and a flange cover. The shaft is disposed in the bearing hole of the sleeve in a state of being capable of relative rotation, and has a large diameter flange portion. The flange cover is disposed opposite the bottom surface of the flange portion. A bubble suppression portion, which is formed as a recess on the bottom surface of the shaft, communicates with the upper surface of the flange portion through a communicating hole in the flange portion. This provides a hydrodynamic bearing device with which negative pressure is prevented from being generated in the bearing even when it is subjected to impact or vibration, and durability and reliability can be enhanced, as well as a spindle motor and a recording and reproducing apparatus equipped with this hydrodynamic bearing device.

A hydrodynamic bearing device comprises a sleeve, a shaft, and a flange cover. The sleeve has a bearing hole and a communicating hole which communicates between both end faces. The shaft is disposed in a state of being capable of relative rotation in the bearing hole of the sleeve, and has a main portion, a flange that is larger in diameter than the main portion, and a communicating hole that communicates with both end faces of the flange. The flange cover is disposed opposing to the lower face of the flange. The pressure loss at the communicating hole is smaller than the pressure loss at the communicating hole.

The present invention provides a motor that enables a lead of a coil to be appropriately led through holes, while allowing the lead of the coil to be fixed without contacting a wall surface of the hole in a base. Cuts 14b are formed in an insulating sheet or a printed circuit board 14; the cuts 14b extend substantially radially or spirally from a lead lead-out portion 14a as a center. Thus, even if an end of the lead 7a abuts against an area located outside the lead lead-out portion 14a, the abutting area and a nearby area located in the vicinity of the abutting area are pushed open along the cuts 14b extending from the lead lead-out portion 14a and guide the end of the lead 7a toward the lead lead-out portion 14a. The end of the lead 7a is thus appropriately guided into the lead lead-out portion 14a.
