As a result, even if the oil applied to the shaft center hole 23 of the sleeve 5 overflows to the taper surface 39 side, it can be prevented from moving outward in the radial direction due to the capillary phenomenon.

When the dynamic pressure generating oil or the like used for the bearing of the motor oozes or scatters to the outside of the bearing, the centrifugal force of the rotating hub 9 causes the inside of the hub 9 (communication passage G) to flow. It moves in the outer diameter direction and is stored and held in the oil sump 31. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the oil or the like from leaking out of the motor.
