ABSTRACT:
In order to prevent degradation of accuracy and decrease of strength when a hydrodynamic bearing device is assembled and to reduce a cost of the hydrodynamic bearing device, a guide face serving as a guide when a disc hub is press fitted into a shaft member is formed on the shaft member. Then, the guide face, an outer circumferential surface of the shaft member adjacent to the guide face, and a boundary portion between the guide face and the outer circumferential surface are ground simultaneously, thereby forming a blunting portion having a radius r in the boundary portion. Thus, no edge remains between the guide face and the outer circumferential surface. Therefore, press-fitting resistance when the disc hub is press fitted to an end of the shaft member can be reduced.
