A hydrodynamic bearing device comprises a shaft bush having a
substantially conical inclined dynamic pressure surface around the outer
circumference thereof which is relatively rotatably inserted in a bearing
sleeve having a substantially conical inclined dynamic pressure surface
around the inner circumference thereof. A substantially conical inclined
bearing space is created in the gap between the inclined dynamic pressure
surfaces of the bearing sleeve and shaft bush. Lubricant fluid is filled
inside the inclined bearing space. A proper dynamic pressure generating
means is formed on at least one of the inclined dynamic pressure surfaces
of the shaft bush and bearing sleeve. The lubricant fluid is pressurized
by the dynamic pressure generating means to generate dynamic pressure, by
which the shaft bush and the bearing sleeve are relatively elevated in
the radial and thrust directions so that their rotations are supported in
a non-contact manner. A fluid sealing portion is provided in the inclined
bearing space to prevent the lubricant fluid from leaking outside of the
inclined bearing space. A fluid pressurizing means is provided between
the inclined bearing space and the fluid sealing portion to pressurize
the lubricant fluid in the direction to push it toward the inside of the
inclined bearing space.
