Fluid bearing device

摘要

A bearing member for rotatably supporting a rotary shaft has an internal bore which forms a bearing surface. The bearing surface is formed with a plurality of rectangular fluid pockets in a circumferential direction thereof and a land portion around the fluid pockets. A plurality of protrusions extending in an axial direction of the rotary shaft are formed in each fluid pocket to be discontinued from the land portion. Further, a supply port is formed in each fluid pocket for supplying pressurized fluid therewith. Each of the supply ports is positioned at the upstream side in the rotational direction of the rotary shaft.
