A method for manufacturing a disk drive device includes (a) assembling a sub assembly by assembling a bearing unit and a rotating body to a fixed body in a clean room, the rotating body being supported by the bearing unit in a freely rotatable manner to the fixed body, (b) cleaning the sub assembly by spraying a mixture of a cleaning liquid and a first gas to at least either one of the fixed body and the rotating body; and (c) enclosing the sub assembly using an enclosing member.

Method for manufacturing disk drive device

In the method for manufacturing a fluid dynamic bearing, the fluid dynamic bearing that lubricant is not injected into is prepared in a predetermined work space. The pressure in the work space is reduced. A delivery nozzle that delivers the lubricant is inserted into the storage region. The lubricant is delivered in the storage region so that the lubricant does not spill over from the storage region. The pressure in the work space is restored. Another way is that a lubricant is ejected after an oil repellent region for preventing the lubricant from leaking out is covered.
