Abstract
Rotary polygon mirror type light deflecting system having a labyrinth ring fixed to an end of a fixed shaft. An outer circumferential surface of a labyrinth ring is caused to confront an inner circumferential surface of a polygon mirror while interposing a small gap therebetween in a radial direction. Further, a lower portion of a circular hole of the polygon mirror is fitted with a cylindrical sleeve of a hub to fix the polygon mirror to the hub. The polygon mirror and the labyrinth ring are made of the same material, e.g., aluminum or an aluminum alloy. The small gap is made as small as possible.
