2. Description of the Related Art In general, horizontal installation is the basis for installing a rotating body using a dynamic pressure bearing. The dynamic pressure bearing introduces the wind generated by the high speed rotation of the rotating body into the dynamic pressure generating groove provided in the non-rotating body, and the wind generates a stronger wind pressure than the dynamic pressure generating groove on the surface of the rotating body. By applying an air gap between the non-rotating body surface and the rotating body surface to form an air gap of several μm unit, the resistance between the non-rotating body and the rotating body is reduced,
It enables high-speed rotation of the rotating body. A polygon mirror that rotates at a high speed at 3000 rpm or more is formed by floating the above-mentioned rotating body in the radial bearing fixed and the dynamic pressure generating groove provided in the thrust bearing in an air gap of several μm unit. It is used as a light deflector. In particular, the rotating body is made of a ceramic material which is light in weight and excellent in precision and non-magnetic body. A magnet is fixed to the rotating body. As mentioned above, the rotating body is 3000 rpm
Since the above high-speed rotation is performed, a centrifugal force acts on the magnet, so that a separation preventing means is taken for safety. As the detachment preventing means, there is known a structure in which a magnetic pole and a shaft are integrally formed on a rotating body made of a metal body, as disclosed in JP-A-62-254113.

If the dynamic pressure bearing as described above is installed horizontally as described above, the ceramic material formed as a rotating body has the above-mentioned characteristics. Since it has extremely high hardness and is difficult to process, a polygon mirror made of metal or resin is manufactured separately. However, when the polygon mirror is bonded to the ceramic material, the bonding strength is weak,
Since it is easily peeled off, it is sandwiched and fixed by using a plurality of mounting members, but there is a drawback that the entire device becomes large and heavy. In particular, there is a problem when it is used as an optical deflecting device formed with a polygon mirror that rotates at a high speed as described above. Also, in other radial bearings and thrust bearings, the manufacturing cost of ceramic materials is high, so the entire device is It has the drawback of being expensive.

Since the rotating body is rotated by the dynamic pressure bearing,
A magnet is provided on the rotating body, and a stator coil fixed to face the magnet is used for rotation. Therefore, when the magnet is provided on the ceramic rotating body that rotates at a high speed as described above, there is a risk that the magnet having a weak adhesive force is peeled off by the centrifugal force and scattered outward. Further, since the magnet is projected to the outside, there is a drawback that the whole dynamic pressure bearing is increased in size by that amount.

It has become possible to improve accuracy. Also, the rotation driving magnet can be integrally formed by making the rotating body resin, and even if the magnet is not firmly adhered, it will not peel off due to the action of centrifugal force, and manufacturing is extremely easy. This has the effect of reducing the number of man-hours and making the entire dynamic pressure bearing smaller by incorporating a magnet.
