Patent number: 8638526Abstract: In a rotating device, a housing includes a cylindrical outer surface facing an inner surface of a through hole and a guiding surface arranged on the underside of the outer surface, the diameter of the guiding surface being less than the diameter of the outer surface. Glue has an interface in an end space. In at least a part of the end space where the glue does not exist, conductive resin seamlessly is applied from the guiding surface to the inner surface of the through hole. With regard to a portion of the inner surface of the through hole that radially faces the guiding surface, the length, in the axial direction, of the portion that touches the conductive resin is greater than the length, in the axial direction, of the portion that touches the glue.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2011Date of Patent: January 28, 2014Assignee: Samsung Electro-Mechanics Japan Advanced Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: Naoki Shinji, Hirotake Nishino, Akira Muramatsu, Yoshio Kurokawa

Patent number: 7931404Abstract: A bearing device is composed of a shaft, a sleeve for supporting the shaft so as to be rotatable freely and a housing having a through hole into which the sleeve is inserted. A circumferential groove that extends in a circumferential direction is formed on either one surface of an outer circumferential surface of the sleeve and an inner circumferential surface of the housing. An axial groove that extends approximately in parallel to a central axis of the sleeve is formed on either one surface of the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve and the inner circumferential surface of the housing. The outer circumferential surface of the sleeve is glued to the inner circumferential surface of the housing by adhesive that intervenes in both the circumferential groove and the axial groove.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2008Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: Alphana Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hirotake Nishino, Masafumi Mizuno
