Hydraulic dynamic bearing and spindle motor

摘要

In order to alleviate mutual interference between axial dynamic pressure portions and a radial dynamic pressure portion in a ring-like hydraulic dynamic pressure bearing, in the case of a ring-like hydraulic dynamic pressure bearing 1 constituted by supporting a shaft portion 4 constituted by fixing a ring 3 to an end portion 2A of a shaft main body 2 by a bearing portion 5, ring-like spaces 8 and 9 for storing lubricant for generating dynamic pressure are provided along contiguous portions of the radial dynamic pressure bearing portion and the axial dynamic pressure bearing portions formed between the ring 3 and the bearing portion 5, and the ring-like spaces 8 and 9 are maintained at atmospheric pressure via paths formed at the bearing portion 5 to thereby prevent negative pressure from generating at boundary regions of the two dynamic pressure bearing portions.
