Abstract
A hydraulic dynamic bearing has a rotational assembly and a bearing member for rotationally supporting the rotational assembly. The bearing member has a main body having a recess portion and a cover for covering an open end of the recess portion. The rotational assembly has a shaft main body having an end portion extending into the recess of the bearing main body for undergoing rotation relative thereto and a ring member disposed in the recess of the bearing main body. The ring member is connected to the end portion of the shaft main body for rotation therewith. Axial dynamic pressure generating grooves are formed in upper and lower surface portions of the ring member for generating axial dynamic pressure during rotation of the rotational assembly. Radial dynamic pressure generating grooves are formed in an outer peripheral surface portion of the ring member for generating radial dynamic pressure during rotation of the rotational assembly. Spaces are formed between the bearing member and the rotational assembly for storing a lubricant.
