Abstract

There is disclosed a polygon mirror motor in which an annular projection is formed on an upper surface of a rotor support member supporting a polygon mirror, and the annular projection supports a part of a lower surface of the polygon mirror. Radial bearings supporting a shaft of the motor have a plurality of oil grooves extending over about a half of the dimension of the radial bearing in a thrust direction. A magnetic fluid is filled in a space defined by the shaft, a support tube of a bearing support member and the radial bearings.
