a prior art fluid bearing comprising a sleeve 200 and a shaft 202 supporting a hub 204 for rotation the hub supports one or more disks not shown the design includes a fluid dynamic bearing 210 comprising a gap between the outer surface 212 of shaft 202 and the inner surface 214 of sleeve 200 one of those two surfaces has grooves to maintain the pressure of a fluid 216 maintained in this gap to support the relative rotation of the shaft and sleeve grooves can be of any type known in the art including those of chevron herringbone spiral or sinusoidal configuration in addition there is an additional fluid in gap 242 between the bottom 244 of the shaft 202 and the top 246 of counter plate 248 the design shown includes a stator 222 supported on the outer surface of the base 224 and cooperating with magnet 226 so that appropriate energization of the stator causes high speed rotation of the hub 204 and accordingly the disks the directional force of the thrust and hydrodraulic bearing acting on the rotor when in operation is shown at 240 spinning of the shaft with the fluid dynamic bearings 210 generates a journal asymmetry pressure that acts on the shaft to assist in rotor lift fig3 6 are three exemplary embodiments of the present invention in all embodiments placing a regulatory region in specific locations along the shaft surface allows one to introduce regions where the effects of asymmetry pressure variation causes pressure feedback such that proper axial alignment is restored when the rotor displaces axially the.
