A fluid bearing device capable of responding to miniaturization while
preventing an operating fluid such as a lubricating oil from leaking out
to the outside. The fluid bearing device includes a shaft and a sleeve
arranged on an outer periphery with respect to the shaft with a
microscopic gap in between, and has an operating fluid filled in between
the shaft and the sleeve. The shaft is formed by a sintered body, a
radial dynamic pressure generating groove is formed on an outer
peripheral surface of the shaft, and the sleeve is formed by a material
not allowing the operating fluid to pass through. The shaft is thus
covered by the sleeve formed by a material that does not penetrate the
operating fluid such as lubricating oil from the outer periphery side, so
that the operating fluid does not leak out to the outside even when the
shaft is a porous body made of a sintered body.
