An electronic locking system provided with an electronic lock may include a lock detecting part to detect locking condition of the lock; a power outage-detecting part to detect power outage; a charging part to supply electric power to the lock during power outage; a power-supplying part to supply power to the lock and charging part; and a switching part structured such that power is supplied to the lock from the power-supplying part in a primary state, and power is supplied to the electronic lock from said charging part in a secondary state. The switching part is in said primary state during normal operation where no power outage is detected. The switching part is structured such that, when power outage is detected, said switching part is switched from said primary state to said secondary state.

Electronic locking system

A suitable the inner point is set on a vapor-liquid face of lubricating fluid formed in a composite capillary seal section that utilizes capillary force and rotational centrifugal force acted on the lubricating fluid. An inner peripheral surface of a ring-shaped portion is formed such that the minimum value Rin radial-direction distances of the inner peripheral face of the ring-shaped portion becomes greater than a radial-direction distance Rof the inner point (R&#x3e;R). This can observe the inner point of the lubricating fluid from the immediately-above position, whereby the filling amount of the lubricating fluid can easily and surely be measured, thereby being capable of adjusting the filling amount of the lubricating fluid to a preset amount.

Hydrodynamic bearing, manufacturing method of hydrodynamic bearing, spindle motor provided with hydrodynamic bearing and disk drive device provided with this spindle motor

A motor with fluid dynamic pressure bearing is disclosed. The motor includes a dynamic pressure bearing member having a concave section that is concave in an axial direction, a rotary shaft that is rotatively supported by the dynamic pressure bearing, and a rotary member that is joined to the rotary shaft in one piece along a joint section between the rotary member and the rotary shaft, and rotatively driven by electromagnetic drive force, an expanded diameter section that is provided on the dynamic pressure bearing member. A fallout preventing member is provided on the rotary member, which overlaps the expanded diameter section of the dynamic pressure bearing member in the axial direction to prevent the rotary shaft from falling out of the dynamic pressure bearing member. The concave section of the rotary member opposes in the axial direction the expanded diameter section of the dynamic pressure bearing member, wherein the expanded diameter section is placed inside the concave section, and the joining section between the rotary member and the rotary shaft overlaps the expanded diameter section in the radial direction.

Motors with oil dynamic pressure bearing, oil dynamic pressure bearing devices and method for manufacturing the same

A dynamic pressure bearing device includes a dynamic pressure face of a shaft member, a dynamic pressure face of a bearing member, lubricating fluid filled in a bearing space of a dynamic pressure bearing portion including a gap between the dynamic pressure faces, a dynamic pressure generation means for pressing so that the lubricating fluid generates a dynamic pressure that supports the shaft member in a non-contact manner with the bearing member and in a rotatable manner relatively to the bearing member, and a sliding surface layer having abrasion resistance provided to at least one of the dynamic pressure face of the shaft member and the dynamic pressure face of the bearing member. The sliding surface layer is made up of a resin lubricating film in which many particles of solid lubricating material is dispersed, and a maximum diameter of the particles constituting the solid lubricating material included in the sliding surface layer is smaller than a minimum gap size of the bearing space of the dynamic pressure bearing portion.

Dynamic pressure bearing device

A motor includes a core having a common connection section formed in a ring shape, a plurality of salient pole sections that protrude and extend radially from the common connection section, each of the salient pole sections defining a common connection section side adjacent to the common connection section and a tip side opposite the common connection section side, and a coil winding wound on each of the salient pole sections. The coil winding is wound on each of the salient pole sections in a plurality of layers, and each of the salient pole sections includes a retaining section adjacent to the tip side thereof, which hooks and supports a lead wire that extends from a winding end part of the coil winding. The coil winding in a top most layer among the plurality of layers is wound from the common connection section side towards the tip side of the corresponding salient pole section, and the lead wire extending from the winding end part of the coil winding in the top most layer is hooked and turned back at the retaining section on the corresponding salient pole section, and held generally straight towards the common connection section side.

Core for motor, motor furnished to the core and method for manufacturing the motor

A dynamic pressure bearing device includes a rotary shaft, a dynamic pressure bearing member for supporting the rotary shaft, two radial dynamic pressure bearing parts and a thrust dynamic pressure bearing part formed between the dynamic pressure bearing member and the rotary shaft, and a lubricating fluid continuously filled in the two radial bearing parts and the thrust bearing part. A bypass passage for pressure release is provided for communicating across the two radial dynamic pressure bearing parts to flow the lubricating fluid corresponding to the amount of the unbalance caused by the unbalance of the pumping effect forces from a high-pressure side to a low-pressure side through the bypass passage to reduce the unbalance.

A magnetic tape drive device includes coils wound about a stator core secured to a base board; a rotor case containing a drive magnet secured to the inner surface thereof, the drive magnet being disposed facing the stator core; and a drive member for transmitting the rotation of rotor case to a roller, the drive member positioned on an outer peripheral surface of the rotor case.
