Abstract
A hydrodynamic bearing having a high performance and a long life and a manufacturing method for the same are provided by forming hydrodynamic grooves to have a sufficient depth with a high accuracy, and sealing remaining pores on a bearing surface. A shaft is inserted into a bearing hole of a sleeve so as to be relatively rotatable. The bearing hole has a bearing surface having hydrodynamic grooves. The sleeve is formed by: forming metal powder to have a hollow cylindrical shape, sintering the metal powder; inserting a core rod in a pattern having a tapered surface into a bore of the sintered metal material; forming an inner surface having hydrodynamic grooves by pressing the sintered metal material from upper, lower and outer peripheral direction; inserting a core rod having a wide diameter portion and a narrow diameter portion into the bore of the sintered metal material to form the bearing bore surface of a hydrodynamic groove with the small diameter portion and to form the sleeve inner surface with the wide diameter portion at the same time; and removing the core rod from bore of the sintered metal material to have the inner periphery formed as such as the bearing inner surface and a large diameter portion as a lubricating fluid reservoir. Thus, grooves can be processed with a high accuracy.
