Abstract
A shaft member for a fluid bearing device includes, on an outer peripheral surface thereof, two bearing surfaces (31 and 32) separated from each other in an axial direction, and a middle relief portion (33) formed between the bearing surfaces (31 and 32) and having a diameter smaller than a diameter of the bearing surfaces. The middle relief portion (33) includes a cylindrical surface portion (331) having a ground surface, and stepped portions (332) arranged on both axial sides of the cylindrical surface portion and having a diameter difference from the cylindrical surface portion.
