Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the manufacturing process and to reduce cost by forming a groove at a dynamic pressure bearing part through press work and securing a bearing member through the use of press work. CONSTITUTION:Electromagnetic interaction takes place between a stator coil 20 and a rotor magnet 30 to cause rotation of a rotary member 11. In this regard, herringbone grooves 47 are made on the upper and lower faces of a bearing disc member 46 and filled with lubricant in order to rotate a rotor hub 21 smoothly. The groove 47 is made by press work wherein a die for forming the grooves 47 in the upper and lower faces of the bearing member 46 is pressed while fitting the member 46 to the small diameter part 13b of central shaft part 13. The member 46 is partially bulged inward at the part fitted to the small diameter part 13b and secured rigidly thereto. This structure allows formation of the groove 47 by a simple process and allows simplification of assembling process.
