Problems solved by technology

In this way, once the air becomes air bubbles and mixes inside and adheres to the dynamic pressure grooves 56 of the radial fluid bearing and the dynamic pressure grooves 57, 58 of the thrust fluid bearing, the delivery volume of the working fluid will be reduced by the dynamic pressure grooves 56, 57, 58. If it is small, there will be problems such as the reduction of bearing rigidity due to air bubbles, and the rotation instability during rotation.

Abstract

A hydrodynamic bearing device in a hydrodynamic bearing device in which a sleeve (2) is covered with a cover (5), which is capable of easily confirming that a working fluid is favorably filled between the cover and the sleeve, and easily confirming that an adhesive (21) which bonds the cover and the sleeve is favorably filled, and an inspection method of an amount of the working fluid are provided. By using the cover having translucency, the filled state of the working fluid is visually recognized through the cover, and is confirmed with an image recognition apparatus.

Description

(1) Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fluid bearing device used in a spindle motor for rotationally driving a magnetic disk, an optical disk, etc., and a method for inspecting the amount of working fluid filled in the fluid bearing device. (2) Background technology [0002] As a bearing device used in a spindle motor of a hard disk device, fluid bearing devices that have higher rotation accuracy than ball bearings and are also superior in quietness are increasingly being used instead of conventional ball bearings. [0003] As such a fluid bearing device, for example, there is a fluid bearing device disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-82486. like Figure 17 As shown, the fluid bearing device includes: a rotating shaft 51; a sleeve 52 arranged on the outer periphery with a gap with respect to the rotating shaft 51; The large-diameter thrust flanges 53, 54 are arranged with a gap, and the working fluid composed of lubricating oil i...
