Abstract:
A fluid bearing apparatus includes a stationary member and a rotating member. A bearing surface of the stationary member and a bearing surface of the rotating member are arranged opposite to each other with a minute gap therebetween. The minute gap has a fluid arranged therein. At least one of the bearing surfaces includes a first dynamic pressure groove array. The first dynamic pressure groove array includes a plurality of first dynamic pressure grooves arranged unevenly at irregular intervals in a circumferential direction.

Claim (Index 10):
The fluid bearing apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein\n the stationary member includes:\n a shaft arranged to extend along the rotation axis; and \n annular members arranged on an outer circumferential surface of the shaft, and on an upper portion and a lower portion, respectively, of the shaft while being axially spaced from each other; \n the rotating member includes a radial bearing surface arranged opposite to the shaft, and supported through a lubricating oil to be rotatable about the rotation axis with respect to the shaft and the annular members, and at least one thrust bearing surface arranged opposite to one of the annular members, and arranged on at least one axial side of the radial bearing surface; the at least one thrust bearing surface includes the first and second dynamic pressure groove arrays; and the radial bearing surface includes a third dynamic pressure groove array including a plurality of third dynamic pressure grooves arranged in the circumferential direction.
