摘要： 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.

摘要： In a hydrodynamic bearing device in which a radial bearing face having a dynamic pressure generating groove on a shaft or an inner periphery of a sleeve is provided and a clearance between the shaft and the sleeve is filled with lubricant, an annular depression is provided on one end face of the sleeve adjacent to a rotor hub and a cover plate for covering the depression is attached to the sleeve so as to define a reservoir for the lubricant or air for the purpose of preventing such a risk that absence of an oil film occurs in clearances of a bearing of the hydrodynamic bearing device due to outflow of oil upon forcing of the oil by air received into the bearing. A step portion is provided on the other end face of the sleeve such that the step portion and the reservoir are communicated with each other by a communication hole. During operation of the hydrodynamic bearing device, air in the hydrodynamic bearing device reaches the reservoir via the communication hole so as to be discharged from the reservoir.

摘要： An object of the present invention is to provide a hydrodynamic bearing device having a high reliability which can achieve miniaturization and reduction of weight and thickness, and a motor and a disc driving apparatus using the same. In the hydrodynamic bearing device according to the present invention, a sleeve through which a shaft penetrates has a first opposing surface substantially orthogonal to a central axis of the shaft at one end and has a second opposing surface at the other end. A thrust plate having a disc shape which is fixed near one end of the shaft or which is integrally formed with the shaft is positioned so as to oppose the first opposing surface of the sleeve. A seal plate positioned near the other end of the shaft is positioned with a gap to the second opposing surface of the sleeve.
