A pivot assembly bearing apparatus includes: a shaft extending in an axial direction, a first rolling bearing, a second rolling bearing and a first sleeve bonded to an outer peripheral surface of the first outer ring of the first rolling bearing, a second sleeve bonded to an outer peripheral surface of the second outer ring of the second rolling bearing and a spacer abutting on a lower end surface of the first outer ring and an upper end surface of the second outer ring. A part of the first sleeve protruding downwards in the axial direction from the first outer ring is bonded to the spacer, and a part of the second sleeve protruding upwards in the axial direction from the second outer ring is bonded to the spacer.

A tolerance ring has a hollow band with outwardly extending corrugated protrusions forming waves that engage an inner surface of a bore of a housing. At one end of the tolerance ring is an inwardly flared guide surface extending axially and radially from the band. The guide surface acts as a tapered entrance to assist the insertion of a shaft into the hollow band during assembly of the ring into the bore of the housing.

A magnetic phonograph record stabilizer is configured to hold a phonograph record in a biased contact against a turntable. The stabilizer features a base which is engaged with a magnetic housing which is moveable from a first position where magnetic attraction biases the base toward the turntable. The magnetic housing is slidable to a second position eliminating the biasing from the magnetic flux so the stabilizer can be removed from the turntable.

A motor includes a base, a stator, a dynamic pressure bearing unit and a rotor. The base includes a shaft tube. The shaft tube includes a closed end and an open end. The stator is mounted around the shaft tube. The dynamic pressure bearing unit includes a bearing, a dynamic pressure assembly and a thrust plate. The bearing is received in the shaft tube. The dynamic pressure assembly and the thrust plate are disposed in a position relatively adjacent to the open end of the shaft tube and relatively distant from the closed end of the shaft tube. The dynamic pressure assembly is located between the bearing and the thrust plate. A lubricating fluid layer is disposed between the dynamic pressure assembly and the thrust plate. The rotor is connected to the thrust plate and is rotatably coupled with the bearing.

In a pair of sliding parts having sliding faces S that slide with respect to each other, at least one of the sliding faces S has a one-side peripheral edge (4a) and an other-side peripheral edge (4b) and includes: fluid introduction grooves (12) each of which has one end communicating with the other-side peripheral edge (4b), dynamic pressure generation grooves (11) each of which has one end communicating with the other-side peripheral edge (4b) and the other end being surrounded by a land portion, and a release groove (13) provided in the land portion, the release groove (13) communicating with the fluid introduction grooves (12). With the sliding parts, not only a liquid such as oil but also an oil mist serving as a mixture of oil and air can be sealed as a sealed fluid, and generation of oil mist itself can be reduced.

According to one embodiment, a disk device includes a disk-shaped recording medium, a base accommodating the recording medium, the base including a bottom wall, a sidewall on a peripheral portion of the bottom wall, and a rib on a part of an upper surface of the sidewall, a first cover on a part of the upper surface of the sidewall, and a second cover on a first surface of the rib and above the first cover. The rib includes a first region with a first width, a second region with a second width less than the first width, and the first surface with a fixed width around an entire circumference of the rib. The first region and the second region are located corresponding to a side portion of the recording medium.

A bearing device, a compressor and a method, in which a first radial bearing element is measured in at least the radial direction, an axial distance of the first axial bearing element from the first radial bearing element being measured, the second radial bearing element being measured in at least the radial direction, the first radial bearing element being positioned with respect to the second radial bearing element as a function of the predefined first width of the radial gap, the adjustment arrangement being situated in such a way that the axial gap has the predefined second width.

According to one embodiment, a disk device includes a first actuator assembly on a support shaft via a first bearing unit, and a second actuator assembly on the support shaft via a second bearing unit. The first bearing unit includes a first shaft on the support shaft, a first sleeve fixed to the first actuator block, and a bearing between the first shaft and the first sleeve. The second bearing unit includes a second shaft on the support shaft, separated from the first shaft, a second sleeve fixed to the second actuator block, and a bearing between the second shaft and the second sleeve. One axial end of the first shaft faces one axial end of the second shaft.

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.

A technique for swinging swing arms stably by reducing vibrations of bearing units due to resonance in rolling bearings is provided. A pivot assembly bearing device 1 includes a shaft 10 extending in an axis Y1 direction, and an upper bearing unit 20 and a lower bearing unit 60 that are provided along the axis Y1 direction of the shaft 10. A natural frequency of the upper bearing unit 20 and a natural frequency of the lower bearing unit 60 in the axis Y1 direction of the shaft 10 differ from each other.
