Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a miniaturized, high-precision, easy, and low-cost dynamic pressure bearing device and a manufacturing method thereof. In manufacturing a dynamic pressure bearing device, a first and a second ring-shaped member are fixedly fitted to an outer peripheral surface of a rotating shaft member to constitute a rotating portion, an intermediate member is disposed between these members to constitute a fixed portion, a thrust bearing portion is formed in gaps between the first and second ring-shaped members and the intermediate member, and a journal bearing portion is formed in a gap between the rotating shaft member of the rotating portion and the intermediate member, the first and second ring-shaped members being fixed only with an adhesive applied on surfaces thereof which is to be fitted to the rotating shaft member.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for holding a moving film comprising bringing each surface of a set of conductive rolls into contact with a front surface and a back surface of a moving film respectively, at least one of the surfaces of the set of rolls being constructed of an elastomer, and holding the moving film by the surfaces of the set of rolls while establishing a high electric potential difference between the set of rolls.The present invention provides a useful method for conveying or stretching the film at high speed without operational troubles, thereby providing a strong film free from scratches or foreign particles on the surface.
