Latest Patents
Hiroko Fuse holds a patent for a hydrodynamic bearing. This invention includes first and second thrust plates held against respective axially opposite ends of a cylindrical radial bearing member. Additionally, a cylindrical radial sleeve is provided concentrically with the cylindrical radial bearing. The outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical radial bearing member and the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical radial sleeve serve as sliding surfaces, jointly making up a radial hydrodynamic bearing assembly. The confronting surfaces of the thrust plates and the end surfaces of the cylindrical radial sleeve also serve as sliding surfaces, forming a thrust hydrodynamic bearing assembly. Notably, at least one of the sliding surfaces of the thrust hydrodynamic bearing assembly has grooves formed therein for generating hydrodynamic pressure. Furthermore, at least one of the sliding surfaces of both the thrust and radial hydrodynamic bearing assemblies is coated with a uniform hydrogenated amorphous carbon film.
