Abstract: A thrust dynamic pressure bearing apparatus includes a shaft member and a thrust plate having a fixing hole that is provided with chamfered sections Ca and Cb at the fixing hole. The shaft member is shrink fitted or pressure inserted in the fixing hole of the thrust plate. The chamfered sections Ca and Cb have axial lengths La and Lb in the axial direction. Dimensional relations of the axial lengths La and Lb in the chamfered sections Ca and Cb are set to be within a specified range to evenly distribute the bonding force of the thrust plate applied to the shaft member along the axial direction.
