Abstract
A dynamic pressure bearing device comprises a rotary member mounted for rotation, and a dynamic pressure bearing rotatably supporting the rotary member. The dynamic pressure bearing has a stationary portion and a disk integrally connected to the stationary portion. The disk has surface portions defining thrust dynamic pressure bearing portions for supporting the rotary member in an axial direction and a radial dynamic pressure bearing portion for supporting the rotary member in a radial direction. A gap is disposed between the dynamic pressure bearing and the rotary member for receiving oil. A space is provided in fluid communication with the gap. The space has a central portion slanted downwardly in the radial direction for preventing leakage of the oil and has a diameter increasing gradually from the central portion in the radial direction.
