A communication channel may be formed between the axial upper end of the sleeve housing and the lower surface of the protrusion of the hydrodynamic bearing assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention so that the second circulation hole communicates with the outside of the sleeve housing.
The second circulation hole of the fluid dynamic pressure bearing assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention may be formed by cutting a part of the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve.
A hydrodynamic bearing assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a rotor fixed to the shaft to rotate in conjunction with the shaft; As shown in FIG.
The rotor of the fluid dynamic pressure bearing assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention may be provided with a circumferential wall protruding from one surface of the rotor so as to face the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve housing.
A sealing portion may be formed between the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve housing and the inner circumferential surface of the circumferential wall of the hydrodynamic pressure bearing assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention to seal the lubricating fluid.
The upper outer circumferential surface of the sleeve housing of the hydrodynamic bearing assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention may be tapered to seal the lubricating fluid.
A motor according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a fluid dynamic bearing assembly according to any one of claims 1 to 9; And a stator coupled to the fluid dynamic pressure bearing assembly and having a core through which a coil for generating a rotational driving force is wound; . ≪ / RTI >
According to the fluid dynamic pressure bearing assembly and the motor including the fluid dynamic pressure bearing assembly according to the present invention, the pressure inside the fluid dynamic pressure bearing assembly can be uniformly maintained, the occurrence of negative pressure can be suppressed, and bubbles and the like in the lubricating fluid can be discharged .
