Abstract

Channels and gaps inside a bearing mechanism are filled with lubricating oil, and the lubricating oil is retained in a first tapered seal portion arranged radially outward of a sleeve, and a second tapered seal portion arranged between the shaft and an upper cap placed above the sleeve. An arrangement of groove-shaped recessed portions on an inner circumferential surface of the upper cap and raised portions on a lower surface of a top portion thereof contributes to increasing a channel cross-sectional area of a channel provided between the upper cap and the sleeve to connect the first tapered seal portion with the second tapered seal portion.
