    Abstract: A dynamic-pressure gas bearing structure includes a columnar shaft made of a silicon-nitride-based ceramic sintered body, a hollow cylindrical sleeve opposed to the shaft as keeping a clearance in a radial direction, the sleeve being made of a silicon-nitride-based ceramic sintered body, and at least three flat face portions located on a peripheral surface of the shaft and at equal intervals to the circumference along the peripheral surface. The flat face portion includes a plurality of unit planes continuously formed at predetermined angles to a direction of the circumference on the peripheral surface of the shaft. The unit planes are formed so as to extend substantially in parallel with an axial direction of the shaft.

    Abstract: Provided is a dynamic pressure gas bearing structure which is applicable to a high-speed rotation driving part such as a hard disk driver or the like and has high rotational accuracy in high-speed rotation. The dynamic pressure gas bearing structure comprises a shaft body (1) and a bearing body (2). When the shaft body (1) and the bearing body (2) are so arranged that central axes (50) thereof are aligned with each other, a substantially cylindrical gap (3) is defined between the outer peripheral surface of the shaft body (1) and the inner peripheral surface of the bearing body (2). The gap (3) has at least one gap change portion whose thickness is changed with respect to a central angle corresponding to the circumference along the outer peripheral surface of the shaft body (1). The gap change rate alpha is at least 1.0 x 10 / DEG and less than 10.0 x 10 / DEG .

    Abstract: A silicon nitride ceramic sliding material comprising silicon nitride crystal grains and a grain boundary phase and having a porosity of 2 to 10% and a maximum pore size of 20 to 100 mu m. The silicon nitride ceramic sliding material preferably has a textural structure wherein the proportion of the total area of silicon nitride crystal grains of 0.1 to 10 mu m in area to the total area of all the silicon nitride crystal grains present in an arbitrary two-dimensional cross section is 30 to 90% and the proportion of the number of silicon nitride crystal grains of 2 to 10 in aspect ratio to the number of all the silicon nitride crystal grains present in that cross section is at least 20%. The material is produced by mixing a silicon nitride powder with a sintering aid powder, molding the resulting mixture, then heat-treating the resulting molded body in a nitrogen-containing atmosphere under reduced pressure at 1,000 to 1,500 DEG C, and then sintering it in a nonoxidizing atmosphere under ordinary pressure or under pressure, at 1,550 to 1,800 DEG C.

    Abstract: Provided is a hydrodynamic gas bearing structure which can prevent occurrence of whirl not only in high-speed rotation but also in low-speed rotation, reduces such frequency that a floating rotational frequency in starting or stoppage of rotation increases, and is capable of shifting the floating rotational frequency to a low rotational frequency side. The hydrodynamic gas bearing structure comprises a shaft body (1) and a bearing body (2). A groove (11) is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft body (1). The groove (11) consists of at least two concave parts, whose depths substantially differ from each other, which are formed serially in the circumferential direction, and has a circumferentially asymmetrical shape in a cross section perpendicular to the axis. The circumferential distance a between the intersection point (15) of a line (C) connecting the deepest point (14) of the groove (11) and the center (O) of the shaft body (1) and the outer peripheral line (Q) of the shaft body (1) and one edge (16) of the groove (11) positioned downward an air current (P) generated in rotation in relation to the intersection point (15) is larger than the circumferential distance b between the intersection point (15) and the other edge (17) of the groove (11) positioned upstream the air current (P) in relation to the intersection point (15). The ratio (d2/d1) of the mean depth d2 of a relatively shallow part of the groove (11) to the mean depth di of a relatively deep part of the groove (11) is less than 0.3. The hydrodynamic gas bearing structure is suitable for employment for a rotation driving part of a magnetic recording apparatus or a laser beam printer.
