    摘要: A bearing apparatus includes a stationary shaft, a first annular member, and a rotating member. The rotating member includes a first inner circumferential surface arranged opposite to the outer circumferential surface of the stationary shaft, and a second inner circumferential surface arranged opposite to an outer circumferential surface of the first annular member. A lubricating oil is arranged in a gap between a surface of a stationary member and the rotating member. On an upper side of an upper surface of the lubricating oil, the first annular member and the rotating member are arranged radially opposite to each other with a slight gap defined therebetween, so that a labyrinth seal is defined. The labyrinth seal and a fixing range over which the stationary shaft and the first annular member are fixed to each other are arranged to overlap with each other in a radial direction.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a bearing mechanism includes the steps of: (a) setting a position of an annular member relative to a center axis; (b) moving the annular member toward an opening of a sleeve housing through a shaft by pressing and elastically deforming a bottom portion of the sleeve housing; (c) releasing the pressing to restore the bottom portion to its original shape; and (d) fixing the annular member to the sleeve housing. Herein, the step (b) is performed by arranging the annular member within the sleeve housing, making one end portion of the shaft received in the annular member contact an inner bottom surface of the sleeve housing or with a thrust member disposed thereon, and making the annular member contact the shaft in a direction leading from the opening to the bottom portion of the sleeve housing.

    摘要: A bearing mechanism includes a cylindrical bottom-closed sleeve unit; a shaft unit radially supported by the sleeve unit via a lubricant; and an elastic thrust plate on an inner bottom surface of the sleeve unit to contact an end portion of the shaft unit at a position on a central axis to rotatably support the shaft unit. The shaft unit has a first contact portion, and the sleeve unit has a second contact portion. The contact portions are so arranged that, when a force acting from above the inner bottom surface is applied, movement of the shaft unit is restrained by the contact portions making contact with each other. Further, a distance between the contact portions prior to the force being applied is smaller than the displacement of the shaft unit at which the thrust plate gets so pressed by the shaft unit to be permanently deformed.

    摘要: One or more of constructional members of a hydrodynamic bearing assembly are nickel-plated, and the members to be welded and fixed are arranged to abut on one another. The nickel plating is performed so as to form a plated layer of less than 10 μm in thickness between the members to be welded and fixed. An energy beam is applied at the joining portion of the members to be welded and fixed, to weld and fix these members.

    摘要: A dynamic pressure bearing is defined in a first gap between a shaft portion and a sleeve portion. An upper seal portion extending upward and a lower seal portion extending downward are arranged radially outward of the dynamic pressure bearing. Each of the upper seal portion and the lower seal portion includes a surface including a lubricating oil located therein. The upper seal portion and the lower seal portion are arranged in communication with each other through a communicating hole defined in the sleeve portion. The communicating hole and a space ranging from the upper seal portion to the lower seal portion through the first gap are filled with the lubricating oil. The axial distance between the surfaces of the lubricating oil in the upper seal portion and the lower seal portion is arranged to be shorter than the axial distance between an upper end and a lower end of the dynamic pressure bearing.
