Patent number: 8724257Abstract: A bearing apparatus includes an upper annular portion that has a circular or substantially circular ring shape, and is arranged to project radially outward from a stationary shaft. One of an upper surface of a sleeve and a lower surface of the upper annular portion includes a first pumping groove array arranged to send a lubricating oil radially inward. The sleeve includes a second inner circumferential surface arranged radially outside of the upper annular portion. One of a lower surface of a cap, an upper surface of the upper annular portion, the second inner circumferential surface, and an outer circumferential surface of the upper annular portion includes a second pumping groove array arranged to send the lubricating oil radially outward or axially downward.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2013Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Nidec CorporationInventors: Yoichi Sekii, Hiroshi Konno, Chiharu Fujii

Patent number: 8724256Abstract: A bearing apparatus includes a stationary shaft, an upper annular portion, a lower annular portion, and a sleeve. An outer circumferential surface of the upper annular portion includes a cylindrical surface and an inclined surface arranged above the cylindrical surface. The cylindrical surface has an axial length smaller than that of the inclined surface of the upper annular portion. One of an upper surface of the sleeve and a lower surface of the upper annular portion includes a pumping groove array defined therein. An upper surface of a lubricating oil is defined in an upper capillary seal portion, while a lower surface of the lubricating oil is defined in a lower capillary seal portion. The upper capillary seal portion has an opening angle larger than that of the lower capillary seal portion.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2013Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Nidec CorporationInventors: Yoichi Sekii, Hiroshi Konno, Chiharu Fujii, Takuro Iguchi, Shuji Iwasaki
