In a radial minute gap between a substantially columnar shaft and an inner
peripheral face of a substantially cylindrical sleeve, oil is retained
and a radial dynamic pressure bearing is formed. A plurality of recessed
portions are arranged in a circumferential direction on at least one of
an outer peripheral face of the shaft and the inner peripheral face of
the sleeve and a first hill portion is provided to an axial end portion
of each the recessed portion. Thus, it is possible to achieve a dynamic
pressure bearing with which sufficient radial shaft support can be
obtained in spite of a short axial length.
