A double sleeve type dynamic bearing comprises a fixed shaft having at least one end fixedly mountable to an apparatus in which the bearing is utilized, a rotary sleeve arranged coaxially with the fixed shaft so that a first fine gap is formed therebetween, a fixed sleeve arranged coaxially with the rotary sleeve so that a second fine gap is formed therebetween, and a lubrication oil filled in the fine gaps. The first fine gap and the second fine gap each have an open end exposed to air outside the bearing and an opposite end that is not exposed to the air, the opposite ends being in communication with each other. A holding member holds the fixed shaft and the fixed sleeve and is disposed adjacent to a lower end surface of the rotary sleeve to form a third fine gap between the holding member and the lower end surface of the rotary sleeve. The third fine gap is formed with a thrust dynamic pressure producing groove, and opposite ends of the first and second fine gaps meet each other through the third fine gap. A peripheral surface of at least one of the fixed shaft, the rotary sleeve and the fixed sleeve forming at least one of the first and second fine gaps has a dynamic pressure producing groove formed therein.
