A scanning optical apparatus has a stationary shaft and a rotary sleeve rotatably fitting to each other. The apparatus is arranged to deflection-scan a light beam by rotating a rotary polygon mirror attached to the rotary sleeve. In the apparatus a second permanent magnet, which is repulsive to a first permanent magnet mounted on the stationary shaft, is disposed on a lower end side of the rotary sleeve. Further, a third permanent magnet is placed on a base to which the stationary shaft is fixed so that the third magnet can provide a repulsive force in a direction to urge the second permanent magnet toward the first permanent magnet.
