Abstract: A spindle motor comprises a rotor, which is rotatably supported by a stator, a rotor yoke, which is made up of a magnet fixed onto the rotor and a drive magnet, which is made of a bonded magnet which is adhesively fixed onto the rotor. A first metallic layer is formed onto a surface on the rotor yoke facing the drive magnet. A second metallic layer is formed on a surface of the drive magnet facing the rotor yoke.

Abstract: A motor having a dynamic pressure bearing device equipped with a rotor having a driving coil or a driving magnet, and a stator having the other of the driving coil or the driving magnet, the dynamic pressure bearing device comprising a shaft fixed to the rotor or the stator and having a dynamic pressure surface on its outer surface, a bearing body fixed to the other of the rotor or stator and having a dynamic pressure surface on its inner surface which is positioned to circumferentially confront the outer surface of the shaft body, a dynamic pressure generating groove formed on at least one side of both the dynamic pressure surfaces, and a lubricating fluid in which magnetic particles are dispersed in a base oil solvent containing an amine anti-gelling agent interposed between both of the dynamic pressure surfaces.
