A fluid dynamic pressure bearing device includes a shaft member (5) and a
bearing member (41), at least one of the shaft member or the bearing
member being rotatable with respect to the other. A shaft member-side
annular member (13) is fixed with respect to the shaft member. The shaft
member-side annular member includes a large-diameter rim portion and a
small-diameter outer circumferential surface portion. A bearing
member-side annular member (14) is fixed with respect to the bearing
member. The bearing member-side annular member includes an inner
circumferential large-diameter step portion, and a small-diameter inner
circumferential surface portion. A plurality of convex surface portions
are formed either on a surface of the inner circumferential
large-diameter step portion facing the large-diameter rim portion of the
shaft member-side annular member, or on a surface of the large-diameter
rim portion of the shaft member-side annular member facing a surface of
the inner circumferential large-diameter step portion. A reflux groove
(17) surrounds the convex surface portions.
