An inner space of a housing sealed with a seal member as well as internal
pores of a bearing member (pores in a porous structure) are filled with a
lubricating oil without the presence of air, so that the oil surface of
the lubricating oil is within a seal space. Under a reduced pressure of
100 Torr, no lubricating oil leaks outside of the housing even at any
attitude of the fluid lubricated bearing device such as normal, inverted,
or horizontal attitude.
