Benefits of technology

[0011]It is accordingly an object of the present invention to achieve a further improvement in the precision of and a further reduction in the weight and cost of a housing of a non-contact type dynamic bearing device.
[0012]Another object of the present invention is to secure the cleanliness of the bearing device by forming the housing of a dynamic bearing device of this type of a resin material having high oil resistance and low out gas property.

Problems solved by technology

At the same time, the requirement for a reduction in the cost of a dynamic bearing device is becoming increasingly severe.
Thus, there is a fear of a product generated through the reaction of the resin material forming the housing with the lubricating oil causing denaturing degeneration in the lubricating oil or a deterioration in the cleanliness of the bearing device.
In particular, in the case of a bearing device to be used in an apparatus for driving a recording disk, such as a hard disk, the out gas generated in the high temperature atmosphere causes a deterioration in the cleanliness of the bearing device or the recording disk driving apparatus, such as contamination of the surface of the hard disk.

example 1

[0066]To clarify the usefulness of the present invention, a plurality of resin compositions of different compositions were evaluated in terms of the requisite characteristics of the housing 7. As the base resin, one of different kinds of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) (one kind of linear type resin and two kinds of cross-linking type resins), polyethersulfone (PES), and polycarbonate (PC) was used. As the filler to be mixed with the base resin, one of three kinds of carbon fibers (two kinds of PAN type fibers and one kind of Pich type fibers) differing in fiber diameter and fiber length (differing in aspect ratios), as shown in FIG. 5A, was used. FIG. 5B shows examples of a combination and mixing ratio of these base resins and fillers (carbon fibers).

[0067]In this example: as the linear type polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), LC-5G manufactured by DAINIPPON INK AND CHEMICALS, INC. was used; as the two kinds of cross-linking polyphenylene sulfide (cross-linking PPSs No. 1 and No. 2), there we...

[0103]To prove the utility of the present invention, housings 7 were formed using one of polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and polyamide (PA) as the base material, and a material varying in the mixing ratio of carbon fibers, inorganic fibers (aluminum borate whiskers, zinc oxide whiskers), and carbon black as the filler, making comparison in terms of the requisite characteristics of the housings 7.

[0104]In this example, there were used H3110 manufactured by Shinnittetsu Chemical Ind. Co., Ltd. as the ester type lubricating oil, PEEK150P manufactured by Victrex MC Co., Ltd. as the polyetheretherketone (PEEK), Fotron 0220A9 manufactured by Polyplastics Co., Ltd. as the polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), Genesta N1000 manufactured by KURARAY CO., LTD. as the polyamide (PA), Besfite HTA-C6-E manufactured by Toho Tenax Co., Ltd. as the carbon fibers, Alborex Y manufactured by Shikoku Corp. as the aluminum borate whiskers, Panatetra WZ-0501 manufactured by Matsushita Ele...

Abstract

Disclosed is a dynamic bearing device which allows production of a smaller housing at low cost and which suppresses ion elution from the resin portion to thereby maintain cleanliness in the dynamic bearing device and exert a desired bearing performance. A dynamic bearing device 1 is equipped with a bearing sleeve 8 fixed to the inner periphery of the housing 7, and a rotary member rotatable relative to the bearing sleeve 8 and the housing 7, in which the rotary member is supported in the radial direction and the thrust direction in a non-contact manner by a dynamic pressure action of a lubricant fluid generated in a bearing clearance. The housing 7 is formed by injection molding of a resin composition containing polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) as the base resin and PAN type carbon fibers as a filler.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a dynamic bearing device. This dynamic bearing device are suitable as a bearing device for use in a spindle motor of an information apparatus, for example, a magnetic disc apparatus, such as an HDD, an optical disc apparatus, such as a CD-ROM, a CD-R / RW, or a DVD-ROM / RAM, or a magneto-optical disc apparatus, such as an MD or an MO, a polygon scanner motor for a laser beam printer (LBP), a color wheel for a projector, or a small motor for an electric apparatus, such as an axial flow fan.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Apart from high rotational accuracy, an improvement in speed, a reduction in cost, a reduction in noise, a reduction in weight, etc. are required of the motors as mentioned above. One of the factors determining such requisite performances is the bearing supporting the spindle of the motor. Recently, as a bearing of this type, use of a dynamic bearing superior in...
