Abstract

A method and apparatus for forming a fluid dynamic pressure groove in a fluid dynamic pressure bearing is provided. The method is accomplished by initially positioning and securing multiple workpieces to be machined to their respective machining devices. An electrochemical dissolving effect is imparted to each target surface of the multiple workpieces and then at least one fluid dynamic pressure groove is formed on each target surface of the multiple workpieces. Each groove may have a specified shape, dimension and surface condition. An electrolyte is directed from a common electrolyte tank to each of the machining devices used on the multiple workpieces.
