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： A hydrodynamic bearing rotary device which can reduce rotation friction, and recording and reproducing apparatus including the same is provided. In the hydrodynamic bearing rotary device, such as hard disc devices, a rotary shaft having a hub on one end is provided in a bearing of a sleeve so as to be rotatable. Thrust hydrodynamic grooves are provided on the other end surface of the rotary shaft, to form a thrust bearing with the thrust plate. A communication path is provided in the sleeve. The second gap between the hub and the sleeve end surface is used as a flow channel and is connected to the communication path. In this way, the rotation friction torque of the thrust bearing can be made sufficiently small, and internal pressure in bonded portions of the rotary shaft or the bottom plate can be suppressed. Thus, the oil can be prevented from oozing out from a small space of the bonded surfaces. Furthermore, the hydrodynamic bearing can be made thin. These effects can be combined to realize an optimal hydrodynamic bearing rotary device.

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.

摘要： A hydrodynamic bearing type rotary device is configured to prevent air from being trapped inside a bearing and causing the bearing to have oil film rupture and NPPR to deteriorate. In the device, a flange having a shape substantially like a disc is provided integrally with a shaft near its lower portion. A sleeve having a bearing hole is fitted to the shaft so as to be relatively rotatable. Hydrodynamic grooves are provided on at least one of an outer periphery of the shaft and an inner periphery of the sleeve. The flange forms a thrust bearing surface with a lower end surface of the sleeve. Hydrodynamic grooves are provided on at least one of the lower surface of the sleeve and an upper surface of the flange. During rotation of the bearing, the hydrodynamic grooves circulate the lubricant. Capillary pressures at respective portions in the lubricant circulation path have different magnitudes. The principle that air tends to move toward the portion having a smaller capillary pressure is utilized to make it difficult for the air to be trapped inside the bearing and to smoothly discharge the air.
