ABSTRACT:
A hydrodynamic bearing system, particularly for the rotary bearing of spindle motors to power hard disk drives. The bearing system includes a bearing sleeve, a shaft accommodated in an opening in the bearing sleeve and at least one radial bearing section provided between the bearing sleeve and the shaft with the aid of which the shaft and the bearing sleeve are supported rotatably in relation to each other. A bearing gap is formed between the shaft and the bearing sleeve and is filled with a liquid lubricant. A lubricant reservoir and equalizing volume independent from the design of the bearing arrangement is provided in that at least one duct is formed in the bearing sleeve that extends from an outer section of the bearing sleeve to the bearing gap and that is at least partially filled with lubricant.
