It is an object to improve bearing rigidity in a thrust direction at high
temperatures and reduce a torque at low temperatures. An axial member is
arranged in such a manner that an outer circumferential surface of an
axial part is opposed to an inner circumferential surface of a bearing
sleeve with a radial bearing gap interposed therebetween, and both end
faces of a flange part are opposed to one end face of the bearing sleeve
and a bottom face of a housing with thrust bearing gaps interposed
therebetween, respectively. In this manner, the axial member is supported
by dynamic pressures generated in the respective bearing gaps in the
thrust direction in a non-contact manner. The flange part of the axial
member is formed of a resin in such a manner that its linear expansion
coefficient in its axial direction is equal to or larger than that of the
housing.
