A dynamic pressure bearing device includes a rotary shaft, a dynamic pressure
bearing
member for supporting the rotary shaft, two radial dynamic pressure bearing parts
and a thrust dynamic pressure bearing part formed between the dynamic pressure
bearing member and the rotary shaft, and a lubricating fluid continuously filled
in the two radial bearing parts and the thrust bearing part. A bypass passage for
pressure release is provided for communicating across the two radial dynamic pressure
bearing parts to flow the lubricating fluid corresponding to the amount of the
unbalance caused by the unbalance of the pumping effect forces from a high-pressure
side to a low-pressure side through the bypass passage to reduce the unbalance.
