Abstract
A fluid dynamic bearing device (1) is provided with: a rotation -side bearing member (22) consisting of a porous material; a stationary- side housing (7) having the bearing member (22) received at the inner periphery thereof; a seal member (9) for opening the upper side of the bearing member (22) to the atmosphere through a seal gap (S); a radial bearing gap formed between the outer peripheral surface (22a) of the bearing member (22) and the inner peripheral surface (7a2) of the housing (7); and a thrust bearing gap formed between the lower end surface (22c) of the bearing member (22) and the inner bottom surface (7b1) of the housing (7). The radial bearing gap and the thrust bearing gap are filled with lubricating oil (11) , and oil films formed in both bearing gaps support the bearing member (22) in the radial direction and in the thrust direction. An axial gap (10) which contains air is disposed between the upper end surface (22b) of the bearing member (22) and the lower end surface (9b) of the seal member (9) , the lower end surface (9b) facing the upper end surface (22b).
