Abstract

In the present invention, in order to provide a fluid dynamic bearing, having heat resistance, wherein the electrical charging on a rotation portion is prevented and the torque loss caused by a lubricant is made lower, an ionic liquid or the like is added to the lubricant filled in the clearance between the opposed faces of a shaft and a sleeve unit as an electrical conductivity imparting agent.
